I was told that it was a 75 mph boat by Jerry Barron. I really couldn't let it all out when in the ocean the other day (not smooth enough), but a couple of weeks before that on a local lake that has a 35 mph speed limit I did try one speed pass when no one was around and it saw 82 on the speedo, but that was running down wind in about a 1-2' chop with 25 mph wind in my back, and on a pitot type speedo (not sure how accurate that is). The boat handles very well, is similar to the 32 Spectra that I used to have (same designer). Not as dry as my old Fountain 35 was.
Hopefully I'll see u out there on the lake sometime soon.

Very nice boat! I just picked a up a 270S! Still trying to figure out what prop is best for mine. Not sure if that 35mph local lake that u went to was Castaic or Pyramid, but it is so hard to test props out there. Those damn speed limits are cutting into my "fun time!!!"
Hopefully I'll see u out there on the lake sometime soon.

Lol! I got caught within about 2 minutes after getting out of the no wake zone from the ramp. There was no one on the lake (besides a few boats), and they popped out. The woman was real cool though and just gave me a warning

Great looking boat. We bought a 270s ob at the end of last season. I really like it so far. We live in Castaic, so maybe we'll bump into you one weekend.
How did it feel in the ocean? I want to take a trip to Catalina this summer.

Only complaint with the boat is when idleing slow I can not get it to go in a straight line. Even if you don't touch the steering wheel it wanders back and forth, side to side. Very annoying!
