You sure you really want a “go-fast” boat?
Everyone will say that when they are looking for a boat. But once you get it and are used to it your mind will change. Then you will be asking how to get a little more speed out of it. Prop change, new tune, etc. I have had a number of boats in my time and was out of it for a while. When I bought the current one I said the same thing. Now like others have said I am dropping money in looking for the last couple of MPH. It's an addiction, so if you really want a Go-Fast boat buy one set up to Go Fast.

No wood in the stringer grid. The transom has a wood core.

500 + horsepower motors that I previously owned are in a redone 292 sr1. Should be a really fast boat. ~$36k
