2-people and some stuff, 22-24 gps,depending on depth. Boat handles great in the muck. The wide hull is very stable and drafts very little water. At one point, I shut down completely on a mud flat, no water just soft mud. Easily got back on plane. The round chines dig well in turns also, no sliding. The hull is a little heavy, but i'll be modi'n the motor soon so the speed will pick up some. My goal is to be able to push a 3 man hunting load around 24-26, the guys at EVT think thats doable. I'm turning 4100 wot out of water and 3980 wot in water. Very pleased.

i got the same boat but with a 27 GDLT, it does 20 with me and the gas, but you put trolling motor battery and another person it get kinda slow, im toying with the idea of putting a 35 GDSD on it. hopefully mine will do that well with a 35 and a person or two.
