Looking forward to not only seeing your new rig, but also seeing what it runs!

Once over 100-105 it seems it's much harder..... the higher you get the harder it is to achieve.....

I would think 120-125 easily. Does the 50 run 125+ with 1350's?

I think 114-118 sounds right from seeing what others go..American Muscle II was advertised as 118 but took lots to see 110+ I been on it... so I think to se 120+ is not likely... I could be wrong...

a 42 ft boat at 115, I would be real happy with that.....

The 50 will run around 120 with the 1350's. The 46 will do around mid 120's with 1350's. I would think the 42 would crack 120 with 1100's, but I could be wrong.

The 46's with 1075's run 110 all day, obviously a little more with a light load, but I would be shocked to see a stock 1075 46 cig run 118.

What an awesome boat, you must be extremely excited to go through this process.

Congrats again Gary. Always good to hear from you. Can't wait to see it and look forward to hopefully running together next year as long as you promise to wait up for me

.
I think you should see 120 out of it with the right props. The few 1075 42s out there ran 115-116.
With these boats it not always about how fast it goes but how it goes fast.
Nothing like being able to take your hands off the wheel at 100. The boat is absolutely on rails.
You are going to love it.
