I don't have to say squat, but then again who does? False assumptions are just that.

The boat docks fine, and the owner does not have any complaints with the Arneson.

I'm going make someone mad. Power? It's got a FORD engine so Pretty motor though and nice install.

Speed, now that is something I know. After the HOOK was removed from the bottom it ran 86 at the end of last season (December full of fuel) but now the propellers we have are wrong as we were compensating for the HOOK

They will be running it again I think some time soon, I don't know the weather conditions in DE so I cannot comment but there is promise and hope now that the bottom was addressed. Goal is 90 but I can remember before the hook was removed the goal was 80

The boat docks fine, gets on plane well, steers great, yada yada yada. He had some engine minor engine issues and then the bottom hook removal made all the difference. I think if it had a bit of Rocker in the bottom it would hit the 90 easily and then some.

Tell me, I am the first to admit when I do not know, what does a 28 run? Handle? Etc.
