Well its about time. I have been waiting for this post for awhile. I understand that this is a performance boat site But why is the speed ALLWAYS the first question? Why can't it be about the fit and finish,cabin space,cockpit space,freeboard,handleing,storage space,dockmanners,layup,ect. I meen its got 700s in it what difference does it make if it does 99 or 105 0r 102 or whatever? It is a floating condo that will run around 75 allday through just about anything the water can through at it in comfert and style without beating the tar out of the motors. I guess my question is, what is the over all package and what would I be getting for all the money that is being spent and lets face it there will be alot of it. There are other builders out there that claim big speeds in 35 to 42 ft boats for about the same money BUT what are you really getting over all? Well thats my rant ,I am just glad to see someone else sees it, so let the slamming begin

On this boat we don't know that answer yet. We didn't wring the 6-bladders out in A/C as we had wanted. However I will say it was on rails in the mid-90s as expected with the extra blade.
It's going to run triple-digits if that is the question.
