Maybe the thread starter should give us a little background on previous boating experience????

150mph boat is not something you just jump into.

The 28 Speedster is a beautiful boat, everyone knows that! I loved the blue/grey 700s boat that runs 140+.

Although if you're looking for 150 plus on a single? The Nordic 28ss just ran 150+ on Elsinore with a single GT1350. That's a beautiful boat, kind of reminds me of a smaller Skater.... Are you looking for a twin or single engine 28'r Mike?

We have a customer with the little Elim Speedster running our 725's and Indy's. Great boat, 145 all day. When Tony worked at Eliminator, he rigged and then piloted to 150-151 in testing
