I've been in an F29, probably very similar to yours, and I have a pretty good idea how fast it goes. Pretty sure the adjusters do too. ;)

Actually post Labor Day is some of the best boating at LOTO. Although some of the on water bars start closing for the season, most are still open and the traffic is WAY down from the summer months allowing many miles of WOT running on the lake! Top speed runs are the norm!

60 at 4000 rpm seems like a nice cruzin speed, and leaves me room to toy with the pwc's

That boats a keeper, always been my favorite DCB 26’ :thumbup:

I wanted it when it was for sale before you bought it but didn’t have the coin, story of my life. :cry2:

75 plus or minus depending on prop and who I'm running with.

Thank you. When I saw it up for sale I honestly said to myself, ain't gonna happen. Too many things had to fall in place for the deal to work. That and Bruce was sooooo attached to it we had to call in a mobile surgeon to detach it. I think he approves of how we've taken care of it and the upgrades we've done. He's a great guy for sure. Its a pretty good cruiser :D

If my boat does 65 m.p.h. at WOT that is my "cruising speed" 9 out of 10 times.

The flip side of that is if I'm cruising for chicks my "cruise speed" is 5 m.p.h.

SO WTF is a cruise speed?

My dad's boat is a very nice ride between 50-60mph.:thumbsUp:

I would agree about the vacuum.

50-55mph cruising speed, boat weighs almost 11K lbs and she goes a little over 70mph WOT, but it's a nice smooth ride.

We cruise all day at 40-70...but the boat can easily do 80+ all day long without breaking a sweat.....I'm sure it can do more....but 70mph is my spousal limit....anything more than that and she takes a 2x4 to me....LOL....

Boating at LOTO it's better to have something heavy or you'll be at the chiropractor every Monday morning, actually it's much smoother down here in the Gulf, who would have thought.

my sanger is 35. thats on the trailer being towed to the shop
