I know setup goes a ways but we're talking nearly 10MPH. The boat I'm talking about was for sale here about 3-4 months ago.

1 more thing... And I am not bragging or showing off. Just a fact here .. I am only carrying a flag for fountain Heritage. I think more people need to wake up and actually see who can make these boats work the best and what boats are the best ;)

I have "seen" it from a distance, at 3am...but I was also intoxicated. He could have pointed to a pontoon and said that it was his 38 and I would have agreed...

Does it look like my boat gets enough stern lift? This is with 30P Maximus 15"

My main qualms lie in whether I'm throwing money at a hull (Bravo boat albeit) that is just inefficient? My boat runs barely 80 if that with 500EFIs and shorties.... while my buddies 2008 525 boat runs 90 easily. I had looked years ago at a similar 2000 38' Lightning as mine with Whipple 500EFIs (700HP a side) and it barely broke 90... so that to me is a bit discouraging. Are there any of these boats out there running clear of a 100-105? What power? Input welcome.

What's the plan stan ?? Are you building some power or what??
