Nobody has asked. Is the 70mph on the dream meter or GPS? Not that it makes a difference, chine walk can be very dangerous and probably pushing the hull past its limits.

No dream meter here, 67.3 tonight with calm Lake Michigan seas, 5 adults on board and +/- 60gals of fuel. Have to get out of the sticks when she starts getting squirrely but I’m getting more comfortable. Hopefully going to pull the trigger on the Hardin marine “inside steering kit” in the next week

What is the water like when you are making these runs? My velocity hates mirror smooth water, it causes it to porpoise something terrible. If I get a 6"-12" chop it runs super flat to 80+.
