I have also been entrigued with a less than 25 ft hull and a surface drive for the last 20 years! I think about it often... I had a classic 22 with a Bravo and a 600HP BBC...25 yrs ago. It could be a hand full if you werent in flat water...It also was a ton of fun in 1ft chop. I had many rides where I was concerned that I had gone beyond its limits and thought "this isnt the right hull to be running over 80 MPH in"... but at the same time, the boat totally surprised me MANY times in a good way!.... The one thing that I always have to remind myself of when running any boat fast is that no matter how much experience I have, or what "amazing" hull I am driving...the WATER IS THE EQUALIZER. No boat ride is the same twice. You just never know what mother nature has planned 500 FT ahead of you...especially at 100 MPH....its impossible to master the water conditions. I wish you the best in your quest for speed!!! BE safe!
thank you for the very helpful reply! It was well thought out and made complete sense to me! I think I’d like to hit triple digits on time then only reference the one time!
