Running my 2016 Phoenix 721 powered by a 250 HP Mercury Pro XS from point au roche to Missisquoi bay on Lake Champlain. Video was filmed on May 1st 2016 and its a 17 mile trip. I start out slow since I just warmed the motor up and its my first run of the day. After a few minutes I open it up and let her ride around 78.5 mph. I vary jack plate heights but find my current setting to be the best. I have Dual power pole blades 10' and 4 batteries in the back. I have about 30lbs of tackle in the front which is all my tackle and a full rod locker as well. Later this day I made a long run with full livewells which is combined 40 gallons and held it steady at 77.8 mph. Im turning a 26 pitch Mercury Fury prop but I am getting it worked to a 25.5 pitch and having it balanced so I might beable to break 80 in the future.
