It would run about 35 mph I’d guess and we thought we were flying after getting out of a 14’ flatbottom with a 9.8! This I found while looking for the boat pic. It’s from a bass club tournament about the same time period. The limit then was at least 12 and 15 if I remember correctly. Quite possible I don’t though at this age! That’s me on the right with the long hair. '91 Skeeter 200SX Yamaha 200 ................................

I ran this boat on the Mississippi, windy lakes and skinny little Iowa rivers. I'd be scared to death to do that today but didn't know any better in the late 70's. We skied and fished out of this boat. (we were skinny back then).

Over powered with a 140 OMC. I loaded up 8 of my college buddies in that boat and went skiing. Fished okay too. Paid $1000 and had a blast with it. Was the first step in learning to work on these machines. Mallard Marine Nacogdoches, Tx 936-225-3244 - Authorized Sales/Service Mercury Outboards - Allison Boats
