    Damn cole555,
    I like both of those boats. Any specs on the engines, gears, props, speed on either or both of them. I have a 83 Howard, with blown 547ci Chevy.

    I am suprised only 89MPH with that much HP.
    VD Cruiser does that suprise you?
    Sounds like it could use more gear...

    Yeah a little surprising, it could be the gears or many other things in the set up. I run 48% gears, but a lot of guys don't use that much gear. I've always liked the looks of the 20' Cole, but have not heard much about how they run.
    Now that red one is sick, do you still want to sell it?

    I don't think there is that many of them set up as v-drives with this hull. I love mine. It runs well. I had a hallet Vector before and it was a heavier boat so it did a little better in the real heavy chop but the cole is more fun to drive. Kinda like a sports car vs. a sedan.
