I believe the FX20 is a faster hull than my Legend but still with 750# of folks and tackle 65-67 is about all you're gonna get with a 250.

I’ll be checking it out soon with just me and I’ll report back. Never even turned the graphs on on Friday cause I was too focused on the sound of a four stroke. First time I’ve ever been in one.......unbelievable quiet.

Only been out in it twice, and she ain’t made for speed. I could go 75 in my I-class but this one will do prolly 70-71 by myself. Solid as a rock, though. Sounds like you need to play with the jackplate some. My 13 FX20 loaded down with just me would cruise 74-75.

Sounds about right Okie. I have a 2018 21 FXle and I can get around 72 to 74 with just me. So mid to upper 60's with an additional 500 lbs. sounds about right.

I'm about 72-74 with just me and a little light on fuel in my 2019 ZX250. Loaded with two men 68-71 depending on water.

Wouldn’t it go faster if it was being towed by a Basscat?

Wouldn’t it go faster if it was being towed by a Basscat? Yes. But it would be at least 50% uglier.
