Sorry I missed your post. The orig. one I tested topped out 73-74. Nice package, the person who bought it just traded it back in for a 50 Nortech with the trip 485 Yanmars. Speed on that will be about the same. The 43 I tested docked with no problem, actually as good if not better than my last 4300 with #5's. The icing on the cake was the bow thrusters. Terry and Trond are waiting for wheels and Im sure they will post some speeds when finshed. Im in no hurry, and am glad they are willing to take the time and get every last mile out of her vs saying here ya go, and enjoy. A few pics here and there keep me satisfied. Great Co, and my next boat will also be another Nortech :cool: Jeff

Did you pay for the additional premium option of Forward? Or did you just opt for Reverse? Those step bottom boats are dangerous you know at anything over neutral speeds.
