    I got a 2014 Lowe Stinger with a 115 4-stroke. My speedometer on the boat says 47ish......but my GPS on my Helix says 39mph and thats with all my gear and hopefully both livewells full of water and fish! I trust my Helix way more than my Boat spedometer. If ur wanting speeds over 50mph you may have to go with a much bigger motor than 115hp. More like a 150+. I was told by the dealer that mine would exceed 50. I wish I would have made him bet his life savings on it....cuz he did not tell the truth! Hahahaha

    Anything is possible if you have the coin to do it, and the twins to push it to its limits
    Break 90 MPH? Uh......not quite.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    2008 tracker 190 with 90 optimax goes 40-42 with 2 people and gear by gps. Splits rough water well on plane but blows around like crazy while fishing in wind.

    Its on Utube hitting 83.5 GPS. Still blueprinting the hull and tweaking here and there. I wouldn’t bet against him. Maybe not 90 but very close.

    My Crappie Jon (1452) goes about 25mph with a 15 4stroke Merc. My pondtoon (1672) runs about 25mph with a 30 4stroke Merc. I can outrun the fish, well most of them. My pondtoon is a zero turn radius machine.

    Both boats are stick drive. One is the EZ Glide stick drive , the other is Joystick drive.

    Add it all up, looks like I can do 50 mph with 45hp of 4 stroke.
