what will the performance be with the 565

The 525 boats tested out just over 70. The 565 is supposed to be about 3 mph faster, but with the extra torque they say it gets you there a lot quicker.
With that big sail of a Bimini on my old one I never got mine over 65 - and that was in the Gulf.

To me the 29 X-Flight is a terrific, sporty looking boat that is well thought out and comfortable. You can put a ton of people on it and have a great day cruising up the lake. In perfect conditions it can be a fast boat. But having owned numerous Fountains and now a ZRC, I do not consider it a HP boat. I call it my deck boat on steroids. :)

Did you get the same gel coat pattern as the old one?

Almost identical pattern - just some subtle differences in the color of the flake within the pattern. We both really liked the old one and I just didn't have time to sit down and figure out something better.

The issue I am now facing is that I have to come up with an interior design. The old one was pretty much all white with a lame pattern on the hatch. I want something with more color but not too wild.
