cigarette speed --- how fast??
ok we have all seen the youtube video of the 100mph cigarette...
what bottom was on that boat round or flat?
at what speed dose a 20 cigarette get un-stable? it seemed to run nice on video going that fast...
what is the the best running speed? 70 to 80?

They can get unstable at really any speed of you have big power. You have to drive them carefully when you're walking them up to higher speeds. Getting "on the pad" can be tricky sometimes if the water isn't ideal.

well that boat seemed very happy at 100mph... it's very nice boat thought it may be a newer 20" its hard to tell when there well done..
I have heard that the boat runs well at over 70 mph but have only seen or heard of that one in the video braking 100 mph......

Everything on that boat is new, and it's one of the few, if not the ONLY one that has the new top with faring, with the classic hull.
Here's a video of mine running a few mph over 80 inside the boat toward the end. It's smooth as can be once you get to the higher speeds, it's just a little tricky to get it up to them without a touch of porpose at some point, even if only briefly:
Here's the vid:

I have thought of trying to use the first 1:1 data from howard arnesons test boat 280hp 78mph or even using an efi 370hp... but will need to test props $$$$..
I have prop size and pitch for the very first test boat 1:1,
and the first with a drop gear 1:5.1..

thanks for that vid seeing stuff like that can be help full...your boat looks real good at that speed
