The 35 is a little scary at 90+. I was just on a 38 TS Gun that felt great at 102-103 w/ nat asp'd 750 ZUL's.
Remember when 60 was fast in a v-bottom??

I personally have experienced 100 in a 39 Ol, and in 6 -8's (see robb report) it handeled like my old 51, solid!

Was that the Hustler at the Miami show last year? if so, it wa a really nice package! I loved the sit-down setup, but the seats didn't look very comfortable at all. Gladiator seats look (and feel) very comfortable.

The Vipers in that 388 ran really well. I think they hit 96 with the boat.
Really kool sounding engines and Ilmore has a more powerful version that should compete well with the new 600 merc, not to mention a lot easier on the finacial side compared to merc also.
