Waiting for paperwork to get done…
My retirement boat!
2016 G3 16 Guide boat.
It’s got a Yamaha 70 HP 4stroke outboard hanging off the back.
Wondering what might be the top speed of my new steed??
Thanks
Joe
So many boats so little time!
I can’t find a 2016 16′ G3 Guide model rated to 70hp,,,,,

My guess would be mid-30s.
What does the pervious owner clam it does for MPH?
I’d say with just you, a trolling motor, 2-3 batteries, an average load of gear you would be at 30-32mph on calm water. Add another angler more like 28-30mph.

It’s at a dealer in Clayton NY.
It’ll haul my wife, 2 ,( well 3 Batteries counting the engine starting battery), bow trolling motor, assorted fishing items.
I promise myself I’m gonna have a lean cargo list on this boat!
This bad boy will cruise the St Lawrence and Lake Ontario.
Somewhere on a site for Gaming props, you filling boat, engine, it suggest props and tells you the speed, but, I can’t seem to locate it now……
5 weeks I figure and Ill have it on the water!
Tanks to all!!

Yeah I wonder if he’s got the model wrong. I thought they only made the 16 foot guide in the bare-bones bench boat variety with a max 25hp. I think the V177 would be the only boat in that lineup where you could hang a 70 on it legally.
Enjoy the new rig!
Sorry the,” official ” name of the boat is a 2016 G-3 Guide V177.
When I hook up to it with my truck, Ill sit with salesman and get an idea if speed.
Thank to all!

That’s my boat! Same color and all!
How fast have you had it ranked up to?
Thanks,

That’s not mine, just a picture I found on the web. I was just trying to see what your consoles/floorplan looked like.
Yamaha has a test report of a V177 tiller with a F60 on it, 32.6mph. You’ve got 10 more hp, a larger lower unit (more drag) and more weight (with the consoles), so I’d expect a similar speed.

I think you bought the wrong boat if speed is your main concern. 
Speed had nothing to do with me getting this boat!
It has all the items I need in a boat for fishing on St. Lawrence River, or, maybe for salmon on Lake Ontario.
Just wondering if it can haul Almn. When the skies turn dark and gloomy!
