They are faster than 30mph but thats a conservative claim. Its (they are) a big boat and while that doesnt sound earth shattering its plenty for a novice driver. Just for comparison a Blackjack 26 BL boat registers 31mph on GPS, stock with Lipo power. A stock Zenoha engine claims 2.2hp and ours is about the same at 2.16hp so 2+ hp is and acceptable claim. Besides those figures change with altitude and conditions. When the engine breaks in a bit the speed is closer to 40mph @ 2200ft above sea level. lol.

Those are some big boats to push across the water but do look good.
