I have a Pro 170TX with a 50 Merc 2-stroke and with wife, kid and I all my gear and a full tank of gas I get about 31 - 32 mph.

Also, with an 18 gallon tank you will get around 120 miles out of it as it burns just 4.3 gallons per hour running full speed and averages around 30 miles.  Not bad for a 50.

2008 txw 175 with a Merc 50 carburated. I am getting 31-32 mph gps with 2 people and full tank. It doesn't seem to vary much with different loads.

What top RPM's are you running at?

I have a 2001 175TX with a 50hp Merc 2stroke..  Never knew what the comfort zone for RPM's would be?  Meaning, if something is acting up and my RPM's are too high?

How much oil are you guys burning?   oil tank to gas tank?

I have the same exact set up. Top speed for me is 34 mph GPS. Thats with full gear and fuel with 2 people.
