I have a 16' Bumblebee with a 60HP motor. I'd like a smidge more deck room in the front, but not enough to change boats. This thing has given me 0 problems. Always starts and a pretty nice ride.
I'll ride a Harley in rush hour traffic to the office, did it this morning, but speed on the water really terrifies me. It took me a couple of years owning this boat to get the nerve to plane in out. As a matter of fact, there's some posts here in the archives from '07 or so asking advice about that.
I've GPS'd my boat at 34MPH at about 3/4 throttle. 30MPH is about all my nerves can handle. My boat planes out at about 22MPH and I hang around 25MPH. My son is usually with me and his safety is paramount. We always get where we're going in seems like no time at all. Granted I don't tourney fish and have to beat someone to a hole but I fish all summer on 15-20 gallons of gas.
I live 8.1miles from Davis Corner ramp and have to pass Franklin Mkt which has 100% gas to get there.
