with any stepped hull boat is 99% of the time the prob is the driver is used to a non stepped hull and drops the drives before entering the turn, if you keep the drives trimmed up instead of dropping them your chances of spinning will be less...

i've spent alot of time in a 36 Glad with kicked up 575's that touches 100...in my personal opinion the boat is a lil to squirrley over the 93,4,5 mph mark...lil less trim lil more tab run her at a wave crushing 90-92 and shes solid as a rock...but the owner operator is an x road racer and still lives by the LOOSE IS FAST and on the edge of outta control...great looking boats and as stated above...respect it and you shouldnt have any problems...good luck

from what Ive been told Bern, that the boat straightens back out at about 98 and runs great well into the 100's

I believe Rick, OSG said you have to really drive them over 110. But his was the only one to go that fast so... Ours runs great at 92.
