Sold the STV because driving it at a 100 was like watching paint dry. I prefer to earn my rewards

Liking the older V's you might like the new test mule. Should run 110 easily once sorted and at least a buck twenty w/everything perfect. We live 2 mls from a ramp on the Intracoastal and my idea is every couple wks or so I chunk it in 1st thing on the morning (no wake or traffic), strap on a vest and light it up. 30 mls north to Melbourne for breakfast and a pot of coffee. Head home for another 30 mls of frustration relief and I figure I'm good for a couple more wks.


Here's a link to a 101 pass w/the old red motor. That was w/the motor 2" bellow the bottom. That boat had an easy 110 in it w/more time. That boat was particularly gratify as all the experts said I was nuts for attempting to do it w/a John Rude. If it had had hydraulic steering you could have mixed a drink at a 100. Once dialed, it retired unbeaten.
