My whaler tops at 55mph with a light load with a 88 v4 omc with a port and polished block,carbon fiber reeds,and shaved heads. Also have a 15 foot duracraft with a 60 omc with port and polished block,70 carbs ,and carbon fiber reeds. Tops out at 45mph no matter what kind of load. It has one hell of a holeshot too,perfect for fishing the basin. Both of them drink alot of 93 octane gas.
