I'm thinking of getting a new ranger and wondering what the top speeds of these tiller boats are. Maybe the diffrance in two stroke or four stroke on these boats.

thanks for your info

I ran a 620T for 2 seasons, and with a relatively light load under ideal conditions, I could touch 39-40. The motor was a Yamaha 115 4-stroke twisting a 16 pitch Mercury Vengeance prop. Hope this helps. Steve

Like Steve said with a light load around 40.
Fished last weekend walleye opener with 3 guys over 200 and a livewell full of water and we were getting 35-36. 115 Yamaha four stroke.

Have heard up to 42 with a 618T. I'd bet they're both around the same @ 40mph, which ain't bad at all for a tiller! I believe you can get a 150 (?) on a 620T with the steering assist, though. That would be a good bit quicker!
