What is the lowest speed can you comfortably cruise on plane?

My 0.02
Never been in the FSH but, in my experience with the 190 hull, those pop up on plane quicker than 240s, maybe around 12mph. But - it is very sensitive to/dependent on loading, any load in the bow makes a huge difference, as compared to the 240s.
By comparison, in my 240 without tabs deployed I can kind of get on plane maybe around 16mph, but it depends on conditions and I really need to be going closer to 20 to not be falling off.
Of course the new 190 (longer) hulls could be different, and of course with tabs you could probably be on plane in single digit speeds in a new 190, I would think.

About 20mph or so to stay on plane
Comfortable if it’s flat...

Argh. Was hoping it would be closer to 15.

Really depends on the load. With just me in the boat and half a tank of gas I believe around 15. Normally cruise between 20-25 with 4 on board. Never paid that much attention. Normally we just complain about top end
