35-36 (bumps 37 every now and then) on an old 16x50 flat bottom G3 with an '07 tohatsu 40 (tiller handle with trim). The restrictor plate has been taken out of the intake which got me another 2-3 mph. I have a 5.5" jack plate, trim tabs, and I believe it's a 13" pitch powertech that I'm running. I had quite a bit of cup added to the prop. Grips a lot better and didn't slow me down any. It's a heavy boat to begin with plus 24 volt t.m. and 3 batts. Can't say enough about those motors. They are fine machines. Now everyone who owns a Merc 40 can fire away.
