Is your boat a standard layup or is light? Also, what speeds are you seeing? And, are you running salt water or freshwater?
Thanks,
Mike

I agree. That's why I'm so excited to get one in that price range. A buddy of mine has a 36 Baja with twin HP 500's. He's lucky to see 75 MPH, if that. Nothing against Baja, a top speed of 75, etc..., but that fact that he's got $150,000+ into that boat and I'm going to have less than half that into mine seems pretty good cool now.
