Mark/ Thomas - What stretch of water was that and how long (distance) did you have to run the boat out to hit top speed on the run?

Boat definitely looks like it's more than stable to take the 1350 mode? Awesome!

Does everyone here still believe that you need a stepped hul, to go fast……..? I don’t. 🙂

RAK,

Does anyone actually believe that you can't go faster with a stepped hull than without, all other factors equal?

Thanks. Brad.

Wow

Allison's have been going crazy fast for decades. I don't see them running offshore - for obvious reasons. If offshore straight-hulled boats could be made to go as fast as stepped hulls Reggie and then Mike Fiore would have set their latest Kilo records in straight-hulled boats.

I met a bunch of the Canucks at a boating event I used to host.

I have visited them, gotten to be good friends w/them, raced w/them, loved them, but probably the biggest thing is, respect for what they can/have/will do w/going fast in a boat.

Some of their attention to detail, outside the box thinking, glass work, design work, set up work etc, etc.

They just don’t shout it from the rooftops like we do.

I only have one reply to their 160 projection.

Get ready!!!!!!!

BAM's speed calculator says yes to 160 and then some.

WOW!! Congratulations on the new world record.

Saw the post on social media!!!! man that was rolling!!!

I’m guessing the Weigl’s don’t believe it….🙂

Serious note, I think once you have a well designed hull with enough power to run well clear of the water (as all Tuff boats do) I don’t think steps play a part. Steps will definitely provide more aeration and lift to get a boat up and clear of the water but if you have a straight bottom boat that already does that, I don’t see steps bumping the speed more.

Just my 2 cents, cheers.
