These are stock 300's and the boat has a full interior. lighter on fuel, no cooler, race hatch, salt water, and not running against a current I am confident the boat would do another 5 mph.
If I top the 120 mark I will be happy though. The boat planes well, handles well etc... Can't really ask for more.

There is not a single person that spends more time keeping their boat in TOP running shape than Charlie T. He is a really close friend of mine and knows EVERY SINGLE SQUARE CENTIMETER of that boat like the back of his hand and better than his wife's backside. Not being a jerk here, it is just that I would bet that there is not another 28 around that will run with Charlie.
Awesome video and best wishes for getting your boat where you want it. Being the fastest is not the most important thing, what is important is that you enjoy your boat regardless if it goes 117 or 57, the important thing is that you are out there being safe and having a blast!
Oh, and stecz is gay!
And Charlie, well let's just say his nickname is "Joe" for his big gut. He is also like 6'5".
