Believe me the numbers aren't near as impressive as the handling/ride quality difference. Chris is topnotch, believe me he'll make sure you and your buddy are taken care of. Tell him Erick with the 22' velocity recommended him, he should get a kick out of it.

pick up my heads at Tyler Crockets and bring me your boat ill do the last 6 feet 1500 to 2000 I have a gallon of ice white left it would be nice to see a picture of your boat running I like to see where the water brakes and . Most 302,s run high and dry allready so if you see any hooks or rocker in the bottom this would be a good thing . since you have an 03 I would say a shorty would work

I noticed a difference as soon as the boat got on plain. My boat was very sensitive to every little ripple in the water before, jet ski wake would make it shift back and forth. Now its just goes thru the water smooth as can be and it did increase my cruising speed slightly. But like you say the biggest difference was at wot. My bow used to wonder and it would chine walk REALLY easy. Now at WOT i could take my hands off the wheel if I dared, there's no effort to keeping it on the pad. Of course the best part is the MPH I gained fulled trimmed and wot.

You arent at full throttle in that picture are you? If you are, how much fuel and people are you carrying? ...the whole damn boat is in the water.
FWIW - the water at 70 MPH breaks about 2-3 feet behind me on my 342
