Just got my new 2017 22 VLX back from it's 10 hour post-break-in service, so last Saturday I had my first opportunity to explore full throttle ops.  Of note, at the recommendation of my dealer, we spec'd the boat with the speed prop.  The verdict?  So far, I have to say, I'm underwhelmed.  The acceleration isn't as forceful as I had hoped and on smooth water, with full fuel and just me in the boat, it topped out at 48.6 mph.  I expected more acceleration out of the hole and a few mph more on top.  What do you guys think?  Does this sound about right or not?  Thanks!

Curious if you took another VLX for a test drive prior to purchase?
