I would love to say we can do some monster power, which we can, but just want to get this dialed in correctly before moving on to the next. It is coming along nicely and should be back on the water soon for further testing/finishing. I am a perfectionist so it is at Mitcher T right now getting a couple small touch ups and the hatch painted before I go out in it myself, but soon!!! and yes 84 GPS is correct so far with much more tuning on the steps and props to go, shooting for 90+ everyday and should be obtainable easily. BTW she crushes 5 footers.....so I have heard....

Thanks for the update Jeff.

That's pretty good news on the speed so far, and it would seem that the hull is indeed fairly efficient.

good luck, with the rest of the dialing in and details.
