I went with the 700's cause I wanted a fun, reliable, safe V bottom that runs 90-100. It was this or a center console. And I don't fish. LOL. If I need some speed, i'll take out the 412

i think it will top 100....probably be more fun to accelerate hard and top out around 90...but one beautiful piece no matter what.

Besides all of that you will only have the boat just long enough to get it off the trailer and over to your house before it is sold. You certainly do not need 1550 Sterlings for that trip. It sure is fun watching you with your toys. When is the 412 going to be finished.

Great looking boat.

It will be interesting to see the speed it gets. Same hull as the cigarette but made by skater.

Someone may know but I'd bet a 46 cig would struggle to go 90mph consistently.

If this hits 100mph, which I think it may, it'll be kudos to skater.
