I have had my MCOB up to 103 gps with too small of a prop. There was 3 people on board and completely full tanks. Now since I have gotten a bigger prop it will most likely be in the 115mph range!
Oh and at 100+ it felt very stable! The only problem that I have so far is since there is no windsheild, u feel every bit of wind and regular sunglasses just dont do the job
Btw, blown 540 @ 4psi

What kind of HP are you running? The more I think about the MCOB design the more I like and useful I think it would be for me. 103 might be more than I desire...85-90 more my style IF it is stable at speeds. Compared to V-hull what are they getting for ins. on these?

Im probably in the 800hp range. Very stable around the 80-90mph range. Obviously MCOB is going to be a little slower than the closed bow, but it is much more condusive to the type of boating we do.
Insurance can be a very finicky thing lol. It was about twice as much for me compared to my 27' V-bottom.

Is there any thing to cover or block wind from traveling thru the mid cabin?

I would imagine so, but I am not sure. They did offer the cabin doors (depending on what layout u got) that would block the wind, but I have the layout that is open on the port side in front of the co-pilot chair.
From what I have heard, the boat does not react as well as u might think with the shortened lower (but then again, I have no first hand experience). I have a XR, but am thinking of either beefing up the enitre XR internals or going to a standard length Imco.
U might direct some the questions to the General Forum, since this forum is pretty dead and really has no traffic from what I can see!
