cheyenne, stealth, or daytona.

If you were going to build yourself a nice little go fast boat, which of these hulls would you prefer and why?
To qualify my question and give a bit more info, I'm planning to get back into go fast boating.
I owned, years ago, a tx-20 tunnel with a 482 gail banks engine at 17 pounds of boost turning a Dominator AA 6500 RPM.
The best I ran was 108 mph.
My plans, if I can pull them off, include one of the hulls above with a 565 (or 598) BBC at 5 pounds of boost turning an American Turbine 9.5 impeller.
Other than balls to the wall, I'm building the motor mild so I can cruise too, soo...
Cruisability is important as is top speed.
My TX wasn't much on cruising
Ps,
My ride now is a 1988 Advantage 20.5 Classic Bowrider with a 454 and Dominator with AT insides.
It'll do 77 with a little shot of nitrous, 66 on motor.

The Cheyenne and Stealth were splashed from a Daytona by Tom Papp.
There all all the same with minor changes.The important thing is the bottom,which Tommy did after it came out of the mold.I would look for a used boat that Tommy did,before I would buy a new one out of the mold.

atxrangler,
Thanks,
I've never seen the website but it looks cool. I'l check it out.
Summer, (and boating trips) are over for me this year.
I'll keep it in mind for next year tho'
I'm kinda getting tired of just going to Possum Kingdom all the time.
(maybe) I'll have a fast boat next year.

Hey Jr,
I'd like to hear more about mr. macenturf and your father's involvement in the stealth. I haven't heard that story yet.
thanks.

The Stealth was made off my friend Bobby Zamba's Eliminator.Tommy designed the changes and did the work.Bobby was promised the first boat out ot the mold and never received it.I think Steve Strange was involved in the project also.If Pat Macenturf is the school teacher from Riverside,tell him he still owes Bobby a boat.

They're all real nice boats and you can't go wrong with any of them.
I talked to a racer who had a Cheyenne, crashed it and got a Stealth.
Even though the Stealth ran in the 7's he said he liked the Cheyenne better.
I had a Stealth and a Cheyenne too and I liked the Stealth better because of a couple inches more freeboard and a couple inches wider in the cockpit and the engine area. I'm a laker and not a racer.
I have had a couple Eliminators and in my opinion they are the best quality built boat. The 21' Daytona I have now is my favorite boat of the six boats I've had.
