| I don't have the sport, but I do have the CS series with a 90 yamaha 2 stroke. I am able to break 40 by myself (and one motor modification for testing purposes only) a 24 volt TM system up front, and full gas on a 60 degree day at 1450 feet. I have a 2:1 gear ratio and can turn a ballistic prop 13-1/2 x17 at 5300 on an 80 degree day...54-5450 on the cooler days and the motor is mounted in the highest possible position (about 3-1/2 inches off transom) with a slip under 12%. Average speed was around 38-39 depending on temp and humidity, which is pretty standard for this size of boat and motor combination.
Overall, happy with the rig, although I do feel they could have made the motor max limit at 115 easilly.
Fishability is great!! I like the big deck up front and the ability to add a kicker with plenty of extra room in the back. I did find that when it was raining, the rod lockers would get wet when all the water runs off the lid to the hinge as you open it, though... Lots of floor space!! If you get a kicker, you can use a 3 gallon gas can, and it will fit in the rear compartment keeping it out of the way.
Running electronics is a breeze. Lots of space to work wiring and mounting.
