Congrats on what has to be one of the fastest 353's around! Those are some impressive numbers to say the least.

Curious... have you ever had the bottom of your 353 blueprinted? At those speeds I imagine sharpening the trailing edges on the steps and transom may give you another mph or two.

I'm not getting greedy. 107mph seems fast enough. A good goal would be another great summer, goin for 4 in a row..

I inquired about it and was told it would help with chine walking, probabaly more speed too, just cant justify another 4k or 5k. Other things to spend dough on.
