ICC can crack 100 when all is right, the olded tall decks are heavier/slower/ abit different bottom but I thin would get into the low 90's??

Once you go ICC there's no going back (protection at speed)

I have a 2007 28' Daytona with twin 496 HO's - with Stock 4 blade Bravo props - no standoff boxes, and stock bravo drives with 1:36 gear ratio, I have topped out right an 100 mph a few times. I can run mid 90's just about any day that has less than 3 footers.

I have since put 5 blade labbed maximus props on and enjoy a much better hole shot but have hit 98mph once, and 96mph consistently.

I am quite pleased with the reliability of this package and amazed at how well the boat handles at every speed (especially in the 85 mph+ range - I've run some poker runs and maintained those speeds very comfortably for extended periods of time - but am actively considering options that will get me more speed - probably no surprise there.

Net- net - love this boat!

Is this your fist cat? What are you paying insurance? Layup, etc?

Yup - my first cat. I am in the northeast so I have a 6 month layup. I lucked out and managed to get Allstate write my policy - $1500/yr. I have a ton of biz through them, so the processed an exception for me.
