I was going to mention the 24 single also. A 25 motion with twin Merc 2.5 200s will run 100 with setup. With limited setup we could see 94 everyday in 90* + air and humidity with three different hulls. I have twin rebuilt 2.5 225 promaxes on my 25 Talon. I can run 85 mph with 60 to 70 gallons of fuel with two adults, 100 lbs of coolers and crap in true 2' to 3' lake swells You have to run between 60 and 80 to stay on top. Every 100 lb. skank thrown overboard is worth 1 mph in my Talon. Whats the link to your resort Rat? I'm ready to come down sometime this year. I love me sum Colombian women!

Tuff 21 with 300 breaks 100mph, have not seen one in person but like the look and have heard good things quality wise. I would think a 21 anything that goes over 85 would give plenty of thrills, 100 might cause some brown staining for the uninitiated.

I would love to help you but you are experienced and should be able to read between the lines.

A 28 Daytona will run 100 with 300XS' But no more than 2ft waves. I had 496 mags in mine and got 1.5 mpg going 90 and 2 mpg going 70, with the 300Xs should be about 50% better.

Im really looking for something that will cruise in the 80s without working too hard. Top ends not critical just figured if a boat tops out at about 100 it should cruise at 85 in mild water... rm

[ATTACH=CONFIG]554204[/ATTACH]. My 22' progression ran 94 mph with 300xs,and would run through 2'ers all day.And yes it has a 24 degree variable deadrise V bottom,and build quality is second to none.And that was with bunk cushions and full gear.
