I rode in it last week in RI and am still talking about how great of a bottom/ride it is. Very impressive. No wonder the 43's did so well this year!
Phenomeal job Mike, Paul and everyone involved. Also, it's great to see how involved with the clientelle you both are.
It was a pleasure meeting you... looking forward to my first OL!!!!!! (you heard it here 1st!

that would be the one..... we hit 116 on GPS last Wednesday. it never hic-up'd and was the plushest ride i've had in a go-fast (incl. the 46's). the boat was hooked-up, drove straight... and we never looked back. It took me completely by suprise. I wasn't expecting ANYTHING close.

... and they're choked down quite a bit with the new merc. quiet exhaust, small tube headers and small tail pipes.
i would presume if all of that was removed and run with large tube headers straight out the back, you'd see an additional 3-4 MPH, easily.
I still can't believe how much of a better ride it is than ANYTHING else I've been in.
