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

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, ...).

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!

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.
