I personally think these hulls handle the big power very well. Keep in mind I have added longer trim tabs,twin ram full hyd steering and giant L-angles with dana solid mounts. Any single engine v is going to be a little wild at 90 mph but you learn to respect when you can run that hard and when you can't,Smitty

What kind of outdrive do you use and how many have you been through? edit: Also, what prop and pitch?

I previuosly made 944 hp on the dyno with my best set-up and 920-930 with my normal set-up,I run a max machine worx drive with every upgrade and have a duplicate spare. I have chewed up lower gears,broke a vert shaft and a prop shaft. I turn a 30 pitch labbed 6000 rpms and a 32 labbed 5700-5800 at best of 92.8 mph(running light). I know that if I run the 1115 hp set-up every weekend and beat on it as hard as I can I'm going to be breaking drives as fast as I can fix them so I will run the 1037 hp tune most of the time and use the big dog tune for late season speed runs or I might sell my spare max worx drive and buy a B-max but it still uses merc lower gears,Smitty

Thats very impresive.....especialy in a single engine v that wasnt made on the west coast. Something like a howard bullet comes to mind. Have you thought of surface drives for such a boat? What about the guy with the 30 checkmate and a # 6 on a long azz extension box?
