Now THAT will tote the mail..............

Was a passenger in one that had a 300 ProMax. 102 mph on the Garmin GPS....

Guy I bought it from was the original owner and told me the dealer ran it at 93 when new and near sea level. Our altitude here is around 3200 and it tops out at 85 for me (225 ProMax). I really don't care much about speed anymore, but the reason they run like they do is the efficiency of the hull with very low drag which translates to low fuel consumption. It burns half the fuel of similar boats I've had and I have to really try to burn a tank of fuel in a day.
