now of course I own a puma ftd with a different brand of motor and much heavier troller and second console but my guess would be-77-78 with two guys in it with tackle and 3/4 tank of gas no water in well at takeoff in am temps100 degrees 2 big boys full wells 3/4 tank tackle everywhere 75-76Light load good temps and trying to dog a friend in another brand of boat? 81Overall- unless it says Allison,Bullet, or Stroker on the side of the boat you are gonna run them down in that one if you want to. However, the most successful angler I know runs an 18 boat with a 135.Last edited by clownshoes on July 21st, 2010, 10:56 pm, edited 1 time in total.C.O.D. Jr. III
