Enticer,
Noticed also that I doubled my post, don't know how it happen and even worst I dont know how to delete one of them. Hell this computer has been sitting here for over a year and since I dont know much (any) thing about it I left it alone. Since I found oso I'm on it every morning and night. However, reading and replying is about as far as I can go! I learn a little each day, one of these days I might have a idea as to what I'm doing!! Until then pls bear with me. Have a scanner, have no idea as how to post photos. So I dont! Make sense? Regards, Eliminator219

PS whats your boats light weight when you run those numbers?Or is that a secret ? notice, no one else is saying either....

Thanks for posting my picture Jim .

In answer to the 100 mile an hour question. I was able to get 100.3 on GPS with Myself, my wife and my two small children, 3/4 full tanks . I also have a full interior, in the cabin and the cockpit. At the poker run I was asked to be the pace boat last minute and with full tanks, five adults and two kid's I got 98pmh on GPS. So the weight factor doesn't seem to matter too much. I will have to say that I had to let it run a little loose, not to much tab and the wind was nice and there was about a three foot chop . I hope that helps.

100 mph 33s!1

Allen,

Thanks for the comeback!! Its really been a big question for me. If I buy or trade for a 33 with the factory warrantys, for engine and drives, will every body and his brother blow by me just because I listen to all the sales pitches or will I have a good solid 100 mph boat. Still have a lot of time to make up my mind!! I havent even seen any summer yet!!
Thanks once again,
