Mark IV 496 roller/stroker BBC, Volvo 280T transom shield (full trim) and a Volvo 270 outdrive with 1.56 gears. 63mph because she is such a heavy boat. The rounded keel just make reentry a lot softer. Doesn’t do much for getting on top of the water when its flat but you never get beat up by the boat in the rough. Most cases the faster you go the smoother it gets.

That is the reason I will never “raft up’ with any of my boats. It seems like there is not a weekend that goes by during the season that there’s not a video posted of the same thing happening. Then people file reports with DNR because a ship made a wave. Short of it being a tsunami and knocking down all the houses along the shoreline it’s called a wave and it happens all the time on the water. Even when and where you don’t expect it.

The 1st portion was pretty tame and then HOLY COW, that turned ugly. Too many dudes on the boat, and whats up with the guy waving the go pro on a stick all around?

I found a video I made about 9 years ago before the second make over of the boat. It's not the worst but it's about as rough as it could be and me still be able to hold the camera (real camera back then) and drive at the same time.
