Dang works going bad...

Which one? I've only had the pleasure of riding in a Manitou SHP trip with a 200HO Evinrude. 24'. Against a strong head wind. My GPS said 46 mph, and the guy driving it sold Malibu ski boats so he had no idea what trim was. I should have taken over, bet I could have coaxed 50 out of it. You'll be shooting for 55+!

It's the Lowe X230, should be high 50's I would think.

Finally posting up how it went, it was real cold out but still better than being in the shop, got 54 out of it but not because that's all it had, was on the rev limiter, so that one will need a bigger wheel for sure, just had a 17 on it, I'll try and post a few pics later.
 
I had a tritoon in between Checkmates. Have to admit, I liked it. I was even looking into a Playcraft before I came across my BRX. I live on a pretty rough lake and that toon was riding like a Cadillac out there even in the worst of the slop. 46mph out of a 22' with a Yami F150 on the back.
