Looks very nice. 75mph out of the box not bad at all. I think I can get closer to 80mph in the right water
my first time out it ran 70mph water was glass
second time out we found some chop and ran it up to 75 but we ran out of room
we only had a short aira with chop
I need some rough water to run this bad boy in

great looking boat.
I am interested in purchasing one soon. Are you hitting your speeds with the 496 engine upgrade package they are offering.
Also: How long was the building process, and how was service.
