Or I should say on the right water it's a fun hull to run fast. On rough water it's just a fun hull, save the fast...

Or you might say It's a hull of a lot of fun..

I had a 24 Pantera that I ran to 93-94 ish. It had more with more tweaking, but I ran out of cohones after my son was born. Accelerated like it was shot out of a cannon. As Phragle said, in snotty water, the boat was an absolute blast running around 70 or so.

Also My wife and I just had our first back in August (a son also). She eventually wants to go bigger and have onboard ac. Which to me also means slower, but I could live with a 35-12meter Fountain after a few years. I'd really like a y2k with ac tho. Be fairly cheap to run and we trailer all the time, so it would be a good fit..,

That's not a 24x7 boat.

Cmon, Nick 96. You can do better than that. You were doing 87 in a 21ft.

No pics on the computer. Was running a Procharged 460 at around 625 hp swinging a 29 Mirage for speed runs. I was bound and determined to get that boat to 100 but life interrupted.

That setup sounds real familiar!
