11'8'' 45' 22,500lbs 640hp/690tq probably down 30-40 hp over dyno headers planning on the KE long tube manifolds this spring, BIII 2:1 w/labbed 28's,
4000rpm 41-43 mph this is cruise speed, average 25-27 gallons per hour (combined), better than the 502 mpi intakes that were on it last season by 3-5 gph.
5050 rpm 53-
The boat is happiest at cruising at 40+ mph, any slower and it feels kind of "heavy" night and day difference between 35 and 40 mph. Its a tank in the rough waters around here, BI sound gets very snotty regularly and she just cleaves thru the waves with out a complaint.
I don't have any really good pics of the interior....I've spent a lot of time getting the mechanical side done, got tons of before and after pics of the bilge though
, I'll check with the better half to see what she has for interior pics.

Marina life is great. Jump in the boat and go somewhere for the weekend or hang close and chill out.
Many great friendships have been made with our marina family

Sounds like you need a motor home and tow a 22 Donzi, if you want to drive on the road to all your destinations

Look at it like the metal market. It will always have a value. A fluctuating value.
You may find a deal on what you want.. But you may have to give someone else a deal on your boat.. It all works out for everyone .

A lot to be said for having a trailerable hi speed cruiser.
Lot of sights to be seen.
Biggest problem I see these days is a lot of Ramps don't allow overnight parking,
Campsites with a ramp,or just a place to store the truck and trailer can work .
Get that new boat so you can take it down to the Keys for Spring. Weather is awesome there in the Spring
