boats dont handle well over 90 they start to chime walk ....the new ones get modified when the bigger power is put in.

Right but for a under 90mph boat I wouldnt take any other 38 over the Slingshot. It's really is a great boat, just not for going real fast.

strip. thats it. 103 was tops on it i believe. The 6's are wet sump as well which doesnt help. I think if someone took the time to do the bottom mods such as on bcloud it might pick up a few...... one plus is no more broken drives..

couple vids of it here:

388 Black Cloud
 
Spent a day on the boat with Richie Shott and was the most amazing 388 I have ever rode in. He ran it up to 115+ mph and was like it was on rails.
