Heard their radio ad this morning. They say they have one in the water waiting for a test drive. I may have to check it out. If they're telling the truth, I'll have to recalibrate my bull$hit meter.
Well check it out and report back to us! Skeptical minds want to know. :lol3

Here is the CL version of the radio ad the OP heard. It's for a 22' Sweetwater with a 115 Yammy.

I have a 2011 Bentley Elite 22 with a 115 hp Merc 4 stroke. Came with 2 toons, lifting strakes and under skinning. I bought from Mountain Top Rv. My top speed is 28 MPH with 1/2 tank and two people.

That's exactly what I would expect for that combination. I'm calling BS on the ad and not going to waste my time screwing with them.

Find a 21' Suntracker with strakes and expect speeds in the mid 30's.
