We had a Century Arabian ( mohogany) that had a 390 w 2 4's. My pop's would wring it out to get 55 mph. At that time he would spin the wheel and it would completey spinout! and keep going.. Lol!

Ya no doubt about that , but not many days spent in 3' chop on inland lakes . Most of the chop is created by those F@#!n wakeboard boats . One thing they are good for is catching some air time off their wake in a Fountain , that gets their attention ! lol

Got a 27 Fever,, Pull my Daughter all the time on a Tube. Sucks up some fuel, hard to turn but works fine. No different than putting a trailer hitch on your corvette. You gotta do what cha gotta do......

I have wakeboarded with my 47 Fountain. If you are good, it is fine. The wake is huge so it's not for beginners. A friend of mine has a Supra Launch but gets much more air time behind the Fountain.

Grew up on Lk MI now live close to Ontario. A 27 is good sized boat for the big lakes, is it perfect no. But theres been plenty of times I wouldnt be out there in a 50ft boat.
