what year and depends on your x dimension
the 2000 and newer hulls were built lighter and typically run 100 to 105mph with the HP 500s. the older ones ran 96 to 98 mph and yes you can get through the porpus
suggest you run a tunnel tab.

quest, was it your boat at the shootout? If so I heard it ran very impressive

Yes thanks for noticing. Ran 136 MPH to win the C2P2 class for twin engines 28 to 31 ft cats with blower motors.

Congrats, wow that is crazy fast, my brother talk to you for a bit over at the tan-tara - (he has a 26 Awesome) I will be running in next years shootout -
