Good save on your first pass at the shootout btw. You know when to get out of it I just wish i couolda been there this year and I'm sorry I missed it.

One more think about my boat's set up.

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

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

Looks good it will come up when it goes faster. Did you call Reggie yet?

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??
