Any thoughts from members? 1999 Alert 17 with 2014 yamaha F 70 4 stroke,mounted 3 holes up with yamaha performance series SS prop 13.25 x 14. What should I expect performance to be?

Generally speaking the estimated WOT speed for a Montauk (a few hundred pounds less) with a 70 hp motor would be 35-39 mph but is based on boat and motor setup being tuned for optimum speed, light load, calm water, etc.

I expect your top speed to be about 38 MPH.
