[QUOTE="SC Designs, post: 428194, member: 20199"] Don't know yet, we have only test run it in a local pond. Haven't had a chance to get to the river yet, maybe this weekend we can. It should run in the 40's with no problem. My other 16/48 Tracker build has a 145hp Kawi engine and after the new pump rebuild and impeller change I was able to hit 48mph with just me in it. This Yamaha has 135hp so the performance of this boat should be close. I guessing 44 to 45mph top speed. Cruise should be mid 30's. the Yamaha should do better on mpg than the Kawi engine. The Kawi engine is a gas hog, but it was that way in the ski as well with it's large CV carbs. I will post numbers as soon as we have them. [/QUOTE]
