I can't imagine ever going down in size and I just have a 40'. Even just going for a few rides on friends smaller boats 33'-38' last year was a "sore" reminder. I would say go as big as your wallet, storage, and trailering capability will let you!

Hell I'd be happy with 575sc's or 600's. I actually thought about going that way but it might be easier to finance a boat that already has in it or already does what you want it to do. Unless somebody is interested in giving me a great deal on some bigger power I am in somewhat of a holding pattern.

Actually the speed and fix for the problems with the drive height and props is well documented with Reggie III at RF Marine as with the owner of the boat that paid for it all.

I'd have to back Beak Boater on this. I know the boat in question, and I certainly don't know if it holds true for all of the 42/525 boats but that one does run. I was running a friends '08 525 38' earlier this year on a poker run as hard as she would go, and I know it was 90-92 MPH GPS for quite some time and that 42/525 boat ran a few clicks behind us and never lost any ground. It didn't make "sense" to me either, but it does it.
