50 mph on the water in a boat up to about forty feet will feel fast, however on a high speed surface craft like a passenger hydrofoil like the Rodriguez 140, 160, 200 etc. it will feel quite slow. Racing boats run from around forty for small junior classes to in excess of 220 mph in class one offshore racing.

With a 225 V6 outboard the Allison ProSport zooms up to mid-80 mph speeds, and blisters in the mid-90s with a 250R outboard. Loaded to fish, the Allison XB-21 ProSport will do 105 mph with a Mercury Racing 300R outboard. In fact, this bass boat snagged a world record, hitting 116.7mph.

Most tournament fishing boats - typically fiberglass boats 19' to 21' long - are powered by 250-hp outboards, which produce speeds in the low 70's on most models. Mid-size bass boats with 115- to 150-hp outboards might top out at 50 mph.

The thumb rule is to have one horsepower for 25-40 pounds of weight. That means if your vessel weighs around 800 pounds, you need a minimum of 30 HP – 40 HP outboard strength. Depending on the exact use and weight, a 5,000-pound boat might need an outboard between 125 HP to 200 HP.
