Good day!
Had a chance to get out on the water in western NC. Today was 76 degrees and Lake James was purely glass.
Boat is a S20 SLG extended aft deck with Yamaha 90 SHO VMAX.
7mph head wind, I logged by my Garmin 26.2 MPH max speed.
Bimini top was down.
With the Bimini up in the same wind, we averaged roughly 24mph (lots of fluctuations in GPS with it up).
On board, two adults that are not in shape! Two coolers of ice.
Total weight on boat around 500lbs with coolers.
Just posting the speed in hopes it might inform someone.
Cheers!
Oh, BTW fuel tank was 3/4 full.
