Mines a 28’ 2-toon with a 115 Mercury. I think it’ll do a bit better than 1/10th that.

As it should. You didn't buy a race boat.

That is a fairly old video and they have that LOTO shootout every
year. Somebody may have beat that record by now.
When I was at LOTO with Teamsters Joint Council 65 in 1960 there was a
guy there who was competitive with a 16 foot aluminum cat and twin
Merc 85s. It topped out at 55-60
Now any swinging dick on a lake anywhere is likely to have a 250 or
300 on a 16' bass boat that goes 70-80.
BTW just how fast are those bass anyway? ;-)

My Harris does 22-23 with a 60 Merc or 70 Yamaha. (no real difference)

correct. and I didn't pay anywhere close to a hundred thousand for it either. I've not GPS'd it but probably in the low 20's, is good for it. It's a flote, not fast...

Lake of the Ozarks was our playground when I was in high school in Sedalia.

You're right, wouldn't take much of a wake to flip that bugger.
