No link! Just wondering if any previous owners of a boat like this had any performance info or thoughts. She's a totally unmolested 84 sportfire. Totally original and in excellent condition inside and out.

50-55 mph
sportsterman the sportfire with the mercury 115 hp will run between 50 and 55 mph. it is a nice handling boat for its size. Always Sammie Action Marine

Fun Boat
Sporty, my Sportsfire had a 135 on it when I purchased it in 2007 but I upgraded to a 200 soon after. Needless to say it was a bit more peppy with the 200 but the 135 did push it into the 50's. They make a good water sports boat but in my experience are harder to drive at speed than the Predictor/Enticer hulls. If you find one in mint condition grab it I believe you would be very pleased with the performance.
