[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 492889, member: 22140"] Thill: Not sure of the top speed with the 90 - will guess around 40. The boat rides true (not skitterish) likely because I have distributed the weight pretty evenly throught the length of the hull, with two big (group 31) batteries under the center console and bow mounted electric, anchors (with anchor chain), downriggers and balls, trailer scissors jack and other heavy stuff up front. That said, it does ride a bit heavy in the water for a tinny, and I have given a lot of thought to lightening things up at the expense of speed. An aside, I bought the boat in Annandale VA, before we moved to Meritt Island 30 years ago, live near Sebastian Inlet now and spend time in New England in the summers. Chances are pretty good that we have been within shouting distance at the same time somewhere where there's water. LOL [/QUOTE]
