I don't have any video but heres some more pictures. I didn't ever get the props dialed in before I sold the boat. With herrring 31p. 5'sI went 103 gps. but it had a porpoise. With lab bravo 34's only went 96 but the motors could not pull to 4200(or something close). I think lab 32 bravos would be the prop. The boat planed better with labbed 34's than stock 30's. Extension boxes are really necessary to make the hull reach it's full potential. Merlin 540 said he gained a lot of speed with this change. These hulls are heavy but have excellent manners, turn well, handle rough well, not as efficient as the current hull. I really liked the boat and my motors were fabulous. Here are some more photos.

Thanks, I was very happy with the boat. I hated to sell it but a DCB Mach F-34 helped ease the pain. Be sure to post some photos of your project. Eric
