After reading the last couple of pages I thought I was in the Beware section where it sounds like a bunch of old ladies in a senior center in Flordia. (not that I've ever been in one.)

Thats much better than Apache did with the same hull.... Took much more power to get 90 before.........

Great job with a boat thats not stripped too!

Looking forward to hearing the results with the props turning in as most of the step hulls react favorably turning inboard!!

Great job Checkmate,
From what I read, 91-93 was about where they thought they would end up with the 700's.

Those who prefer to bash won't think that's fast enough and likely would still find something to bash if the boat ran 95-98.

Really who ever buys this boat, is going to be very happy with it. The price for that speed in a new boat that size, with a full cabin is looking better all the time.

I wonder if this boat is going to help tighten up the pricing for some of the other brands a bit. If you are brand loyal and you next purchase of a 41-43er got a little more affordable because this boat was built, wouldn't that be nice for you?
