Congrats on your new boat Kap. I've had the pleasure test the BKT Motorsports 32' race version. They are great boats. Would love to have one. Just out of my price point.

109 while breaking in the new motors is AWESOME! Boat looks gorgeous. Can't wait to read how fast she goes once dialed in. Definitely will be one of the fastest cats with stock 300xs

I agree windshield is too low. At WOT you better be wearing a helmet because nothing else will stay on your face.

Seems the owner would rather save a half mph then get his face blown off

So the boat ran 109 in break in mode..... huh.... thats interesting. It ran 96 on radar at Desert Storm in the shootout.. guess the fresh water in Havasu cost 13 MPH... Im sure that is the only logical explanation.

I agree with other observers that the windsshield is way way too low. Im also wondering how much water cascades over the back (an on to your back seat passangers) when you come off plane quickly due to the exagerrated rake of the hull.

Also, boat is too big for twins - needs triples especially if your going to stick wtih stock 300xs's.

Won't run with the Skaters in the category. Physical size is closer to the 28 Skater than the 30 and both of them will outrun this boat.

There is also a 328 Skater out there with twin stock 300xs's - wrap around windshield, about 30% bigger in physical size than this boat - ran 101.6 with twins , recently converted to a triple.

The Doug Wright Race boats do run well though... Boats....

I think the windshield is the perfect height it should be just below eye level so you can look over it instead of through it (much better) but the wind goes over your eyes but still catches your hair. These days with NMEA data you don't need a million gauges to have the info you need, that garmin can display all of the info the engines provide. I do agree with the comment about the stern I don't like that design either.
