342 w 496 mags how fast?
 
342, loaded AC, genny, vacuflush.

496 Mags (NOt HO's)

being told it will run 70. ???

On the speedo maybe:) I can barely get to 70 with a light load and a decent chop.

Thats what i thought 70-75 was beingsd told. and i was like.... hmmmm i dought it.

65 all the times and maybe a little better if light is ok with me i guess. esspicially if i have a genny

It depends on what he is pulling it with, no way that setup will run 70. I usually see a best of 68-70 with mine (last year at LOTO i saw 70.2 GPS with 2 people, 1/2 tank of fuel, coolers, ...).

mine will do 71 gps with ho's and no genset!

70 is doubtful, but close - probably 67ish with a light load of fuel

Not an ideal power option. But a nice boat none the less.

67 isnt slow!

65+ and i am happy. hell my boat now is smaller and slower. haha.

and i cant take a poop in the AC while batteriys are charging, breakfast is being cooked in the morning.....

I have had my 342 for 3 years and never took a crap in it...

You ruined the whole boat!

one of the main reasons i want a bathrom is for the moring poo, after late night drinking on the water.

we stay out on a hook ALOT, and it sucks to have to use someone elses boat, or run all the way back to the doc.

or worse. haha. I have no worries of pooping in a vacuflush system, and emptying it out when we come back in.
Buying a vacuflush for that reason alone. plus the girls will be happy when its cold water, or dark out and they dont want to get the twat wet just to get back into bed.
