We've only had our boat out for 2 short trips to the Lake. I think it will go fast enough. I think my husband said we were going about 45 mph(don't hold me to that)and were not at full throttle. It has everything we need, we got the standard model. Speed wise, anything is faster than that 24ft. pontoon we had with the 50 hp Evinrude. We both like to fish but also to ride around the lake and picnic on various islands.
P.S. I think Scott must be the board "flirt" but I know you meant to ask how FAST the boat goes ! As for the other,Scott, I'm more FATS than I used to be but I can still run to the barn if a possum is in the chicken house !
