It planes out very easily and loafs along at 90 to 100. We made a couple of hard runs and it ran between 125 and 128 at 5800 rpm. I have a 120 mph speedo, so I am having to guess at the top numbers. I was running just enough trim to pick the bow up so, I think she will do 130 with no problem. I had one fitting that leaked a little oil, and it was starting to get dark so I will return next week. I have a video from his I-phone and a picture or two to post tomorrow.
It looks like all the effort was worth it
