Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
Haha, I'm trying to avoid the speed addiction as long as I can because I know it's a slippery slope (I've spent enough $$$ to have a brand new boat on car mods over the years). I have boating friends who have a fairly large collection of props between them, so I might experiment with those a bit. But from what I've read I think 63mph is pretty good for a stock 454 (I'm not entirely sure if it's a Mag motor?), and I'm very pleased with the holeshot compared to the other 2 I drove before this one, it planes out very quickly with the current prop.
All over really. I live in Genesee county so probably Holloway reservoir or Lake Fenton when I want something close to home. But I do plan on going to Higgins Lake, Lake St. Clair, and on Labor Day I'll be out on Lake Michigan near South Haven. I by no means wealthy and this was a pretty big purchase for me, so I fully intend to use it as much as I can in our short boating season. Next year after I have some seat time I really want to go from South Haven to Chicago and back

Nice find. A 98 with those low hours is pretty rare. Boat looks like new in the pictures. I would say you must have a Mag motor based on the speed and RPM you are getting. I boat on Higgins Lake every weekend. If I see you up there I will try to say hi. Good luck.

Great looking boat! Everyone talks about keeping it stock.....until you run into that one guy with that one boat that keeps walking on you. BTW, what app were you using, mine doesn't save top speed.
