 17' X 51" Excel F4 w/Black Death 4500 Me by myself in deep water (230lbs) = 31 MPH.
Me + 1 person in deep water (460lbs) = 26 MPH.
Me + 2 people in deep water (660lbs) = 24 MPH.
(All with 12 gallons of fuel)
Havent got to try it in shallow water yet but will post up speeds when I do.

Re: 17' X 51" Excel F4 w/Black Death 4500 Top end sounds good but your speed with a load seems low. I had 1000#s of beef,a generator,2 batteries,2 ice chest and mine was still doing 25-26 in deep water.

17' X 51" Excel F4 w/Black Death 4500 Them loaded speeds aren't good at all!
A friend of mine just got a 16 x 54 gator tail boat with a 35 GTR and a stage 2 installed by Hoyt and it ran 31.8 with 3 people, 2 batteries and a trolling motor!

Procrastination is a lot like masturbation. Sure it sounds great at the time but, in the end your only f--k--g yourself.

Re: 17' X 51" Excel F4 w/Black Death 4500 it could be how the load is situated in the boat too because if i even put one person on the front my boat starts pushing water and slows down like crazy
