[QUOTE="Drothgeb, post: 486061, member: 22414"] Yes I have. With just me in it, it will do 25 mph. With a second person, it’s more like 22-23 mph. It does ride on the sponsons at top speed. But, they also act as a fixed rudder, so it’s not the best turning high speeds. All in all, I’m very happy with it, except…. when I use it on the Potomac. Just too rocky in the areas I want to use it. Finally got tired of beating it up, and had a boat built locally to my specs, especially to handle the rocks. It’s a 21’ center console, .190” hull with 1/2” UHMW, 250hp inboard jet, 112 Ulterra with 36v lithium battery. It’s awesome on the river, and big enough to use on the Chesapeake Bay when the Rockfish are around. [/QUOTE]
