2007 Triton TR196 with 2007 200HP Optimax.
Tempest 25 prop, full tourney load and full fuel tank, no passenger, I have hit 65MPH on Lake Sammamish in January.
Guessing smoother water and cold, dense air on Sammamish helped.
However, at 65MPH GPS, the ride was a bit scary... chine walk, constant trim, steering, and smooth touch on the hotfoot.
I'm still learning to drive, so take that into consideration.
One question I have is...
Is there a 21 foot bass boat out there that will carry a full tournament load, full fuel tank, with fishing partner, and comfortably do 70 MPH in slightly choppy water? Does such a boat exist, and what is it?
I hit a 4 foot wake doing about 55 GPS on Lake Wa last year, and after pulling the prop out of water, and then slamming back down at a complete stop, I thought I had broken something in my body... very scary experience.
I've heard talk of full tournament loads in Skeeters and Rangers doing 70 MPH plus in chop without so much as a twitch, even hands off steering wheel.
Are these stories true, or just wishful thinking?
Thanks for any input!

Come on Russ. You are comparing a Phoenix to a lead sled Ranger ?? I believe the Triton will run those speeds ;-)
05' Triron Tr21x with an 05' Merc Opti. loaded out will GPS at 69-70 at Banks and alone with lite load I have hit 74 MPH GPS one time but now can't get past 73.6 GPS. I was talking to Paul Hall after the ABA tourney yesterday and two weeks ago on Banks Lake he was running 78 MPH GPS. He has an 07' Triton Tr21 HP with a 250 pro xs
Hall only judges his speed based on his gps! I know hes not lying because I was with him a week before the frost bite tourney and with two of us in his boat with an 1/8 tank of fuel we hit 76mph gps! I saw it with MY OWN EYES! So I would apperciate it if you would think before you spoke! WTF do you know? Do you know what setup he's running? Have you been in his boat? Do you even know him?
