I knew 70 - 72 was in reach but not mid 70's. The one Mentalpause ran that shows in the F-4 promotional video ran right at 70. Most people don't boat in the 40's so they wouldn't benefit from running in that kind of air.
Go with a dual ram system. You will not regret it.

live wire, I ran with you that November day, I thought for sure you had a Blue motor in that bow rider of yours. The numbers were real good that day in the cool air and choppy water. I got 83 gps out of my tank and Jimmy's Sutphen ran 95 or 96 . I know you were running a real mid 70's cause I had to keep the hammer down to stay in front of you. That day was a lot of fun. See ya on the river in the spring. Do the hyd. steering and Raylar, I bet you will break the 80 mark for less than 10k.

Myself and a couple other guys meet out on the river one day mid November, and all were getting our best numbers out of the boats that day due to the cold crisp dry air and a nice chop. getting an accurite mph reading on a river with in and out going tides is near impossible . The average of the two direction pass (73.8 GPS) was the fastest I've seen with this boat.Typically the boat will run 72mph which I've seen in several different conditions.Bottom line is it is a fast boat for what it is a single 28' bowrider .
