    Ask Kevin Turner. It must be a trade in or something.

    Alvin I think Ranger has there hulls made at the same place that made mine, looks to be the exact same hull…. 6 degree deadrise, not near as fast as a RP, shallow water performance on mine is not bad, but unlike a RP you have to keep her on the throttle hard, but she’ll still run on 4 inches of water (with a little bit of luck, and lots of white knuckles) Mine has a top speed of around 34 mph with a 115/80 on it Im guessing that this would be more like 28mph with a good load probably more like 24, Outboards suffer alot in the top speed department! Incidentally KT built a outboard hull with the same rakes and deadrise as his inboard hulls, and he got 34 mph unloaded with a 60/40. I think the extra lift a RP has generates more speed, just my 2 cents
