I get 20-21  consistently down river with around 600lbs total minus hull weight and 17-18 up river. With just me and my son (180+50) plus 6 gallons of fuel, and maybe 75-100lbs of misc I get about 20 up river and 22 down river. All that said my cavitation plate is 1.5-2" too low. I temporarily picked it up (didn't have enough transom to leave it that way, scared it would fall off) and regretfully I didn't clock it, however I believe I was doing 28 easily, honestly feel like it was closer to 30 down river. Significant speed increase. This test run was bare bones, ~375lbs including motor minus hull. Haven't gotten around to building my riser bracket so can't clock it to prove it but fully intend to when I get time</blockquote>
