Progressions are stout boats, this would be a great choice.

If you could be happy with a 60-70 mph cruise, find an I/O 28 Daytona and put some used Yanmar 6LP's in it. It will top out at about 75 (3800-4000 rpm), but you can cruise all day at 3600 RPM which should be somewhere 60-70 and you will be getting 3 mpg or so. And the ride will be a million times better than any small v hull you are considering.

Looking for something 100mph fast, single eggbeater, that will ride out nice for the skanks, and be easy on fuel. Thx for your advice in advance...rm
This is the best thread you ever started. I like the suggestions from the posters to provide their first hand experience, let's keep the real world exoperience coming. I like the Tuff, Progression, and that single o/b 24' Skater, great suggestions.

This boat has to be small and light so i can pull it daily. Down the road i play to go to the states for a couple months and build a 41 offshore boat with 8.3 cummins and asd drives but thats probably two years out.
It would be a nice ride tho, but the laws down here anything carry passengers for hire must have two equal hp engines in it... this will be just something fast to play in and run errands..rm
