I've owned two of them and would still own one if it wasn't for the X190. More than enough storage, room and speed. A full load you should see just under 50 mph with a 150 Optimax. It's one of the best boats I've ever owned, can't go wrong with a 1760.

There's plenty. The front storage lockers hold a ton of gear. Speed is dependent on horsepower, are you looking at a tiller or console, and which engine?

Tons of storage that front left box holds everything that stays in the boat permanantly for me. Life jackets, tools, first aid, anchor, ropes... and there is still room for more in it. Only things out are tackleboxes, rods, and release tools

Boat will run in the 30's with three anglers, full gas tank, and gear.

Plenty of storage, especially if you get the deck extension. Although i dont care if you buy a 621 ranger, or a 12 ft jon boat, you will always find a way to fill that boat up with gear, musky tackle fills a boat up quick!

I know it is only rated for a 75 but will they put a 90 hp on there if you wanted to or knot...

The dealer can't. A 90 will only make about 2 to 3 MPH difference.
