The right drive trim, props, and big enough balls... should see close to 100 mph :)

Way over the top!

Thanks guys. :)

From the original cad design, to cutting the plug, building tooling, popping the first boat and getting it built and on the water, it was about a year..

It's been a fun project, but I think I owe the wife a closet full of new shoes.. LOL!
