1995 17ft Louisiana Traveler with 70 HP Evinrude and stainless prop.
Runs 38 to 42 mph depends on if I fish alone or with someone else plus extra gear.
Lost 2 mph from when it was new due to a year ago I had a 2" hair pin crack fixed and slowed it down to 42mph.
When it was new I gps it and it got 44 mph which was very scary and you could only run that in a straight canal with very little or no wind.
Avg speed I run it is 36 mph gps and that fast enough.
Fixing to sell the boat and get a 2012 Weldcraft aluminum boat with 60hp mercury.
