our boat doesnt hop under 70mph. we run it routinely in the ct river where its glass. just a fyi.

I honestly don't know the weights so I can't comment. i know my straight gun held 220 gallons and the T/S holds about 165 so that is some weight

There`s no way. Weight on a scale? With motors and drives?
A 33Outlaw is 12K on a trailer. I don`t think Cig is making boats out of packing peanuts.

yes you do, my first 92 kevlar gun had hawk 600's and trs and went 73. you had to drive around wot all day to keep out of the hop. yes, 73 with 600's. when they blew up i put 502 535 hp(dyno) motors in and it wouldn't break 70, i think the best i saw was 69. the boat weighed in at 9500 lbs.
