Yes, gps speed. I spin my motor a little harder than most. Those speeds come between 5300-5500.

I was running 64-66 all the time GPS. I've seen 67-68 in salterwater once. I only take it maybe twice a year for a weekend. It really didn't matter on how much fuel or people I had on top end. It just took longer to get there.
sorry
