That would look very cool with a paint job from down the road at Active Thunder. Pat could do someting wild with the engine cowlings as well.
That hull has been used in enough fishing boats I am sure they lnow exatly how it will handle and perform with all the wieght and power hanging off the back.

I really like it, but would not prefer the OB's. I like the swim platorm and open cockpit. Looks like it would be great for entertaining.

I was guessing based on the Mares/Sonic cats with IO's. The one following is for sale on the net. Twin 500 IO's at 500hp each vs twin 350 OB's at 350 hp each. 90 vs high 70's? You're right, probably low to mid 70's best?

Well 90 is pushing it with combo.......i have been on one built just like that and she maybe gets 85....Though i like the looks of this one and the other models...just need to get the hop out and add some more power....

[QUOTE=ZBODaytona;2656376]get rid of the hook on the bottom, take it to have it blueprinted, at least this is what I was told...also change the laminate schedule. Good Luck.
