Congrats!

That's crazy how much hp it takes to get them moving! I bet it's handles big water great!

The boat has a few things that can be addressed to get a few more mph out of it. 1 being the 1.36 drives. But the most important part is reliability. This is not the particular hull to try and wring every last mph out of.
