What improvements would a big step 47' get from a bottom blueprinted hull, speed, handling?

This is a great thread.

Blueprinting Will Improve The Speed & Handling. How Much Depends On How Bad The Bottom Is.

It Was Great Seeing You Today. I Look Forward To Meeting With You Again Tomorrow & Finalize The Final Details.

I was out at misery island last summer and saw this boat running, it sure looked like it was doing more than 101mph. At that time I guessed 115? It made my day (morning) watching you run that thing back and forth!!
I think I have some pic's too.

Real Fast Marine would like to thank John Bettencourt and Maria Roberge for stopping by today to see John's 47 Lightning. The "King of Speed" was also in the shop to greet John and Maria. Reggie always has time for a picture with a customer. John and Maria are pictured with Reggie on our Real Fast Marine facebook page. We originally built this boat and now we are over halfway through an extensive service job. Check out Reggie Fountain lll facebook for around the shop and... you will see many pictures of John's boat.
Reggie, Reggie 3 and Wyatt extend our sincerest appreciation for bringing us your boat.
