Actually the Canabuck was worth $1.07 US on Friday. Remember a lot of what goes into Mark's boats come out of the USA, Mercury etc. so the stonger CAN dollar will go further in building the boats. I think the impact would at best just add a couple of points. Some builders / manufacturers are eating the difference. It will all get sorted out.

I would like to see one with an Illmor 710, an extension box and some more x dimension.... plus a few more tricks and go for 110.
Remember this is a REAL28'4" boat with no beaks or swim platforms. It has great spanning ability for rough water and a sharp entry to flatten the waves, long before the pad hits.

Holy $hit!! Thats some great speed for a 525 and a 28 ft hull! I have a 24 Fountain CS with nearly 700 h.p that gets between 93 & 94 with a 36 Pitch 4 blade. Currently I run a 34 Pitch at 90. Not as fast but I like a little slip in the equation so I don't explode the drive. The boat also has much better manners with the 34. Good Luck with the TUFF!

Thats no joke. 137 in a single engine stern driven vee over 25' long would be a hell of an accomplishent. I would go for 123 mph first
