The boat docks fine, and the owner does not have any complaints with the Arneson.

I only have 1 season on my boat and the best I saw was about 71 GPS with my 525/XR/labbed 26P. I just got my prop back from BBLADES again and hope to see better. I never really did get to run it in optimal conditions last year though(1-2 foot chop, low fuel, 1 person). Handling is awesome, especially in choppy seas.

He says the same thing about rough water. Its good but smooth water the hook is a problem.

See if you can gain 15 mph by removing the hook.

Speed, now that is something I know. After the HOOK was removed from the bottom it ran 86 at the end of last season (December full of fuel) but now the propellers we have are wrong as we were compensating for the HOOK:mad:

They will be running it again I think some time soon, I don't know the weather conditions in DE so I cannot comment but there is promise and hope now that the bottom was addressed. Goal is 90 but I can remember before the hook was removed the goal was 80:eek:

The boat docks fine, gets on plane well, steers great, yada yada yada. He had some engine minor engine issues and then the bottom hook removal made all the difference. I think if it had a bit of Rocker in the bottom it would hit the 90 easily and then some.

Hp?
