I have a Sea Hunt 172 with a 90 Yama. My GPS says 37knots at 4500 RPMs.

The Sea Hunt hull is amazing! I had this boat (with #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&) in 4 to 6ft seas and a 40 knot wind out of the NE. We stayed dry all the way from Quonset to Warwick Cove. I had to throttle back some but I have been all over, all the way to Beavertail, Anawan, Narrow River, Newport and never felt in harms way. Heavy boat for it's size. At 17' 2" with a full tank of gas and the T Top it weighs right around 2000#.

I plan on moving up to a 20 or 21 when I have saved enough to buy it cash.
