As a guy with no horse in this race I feel I can say 120mph is fast for a first time set up. Smallblocks and a new style drive that will take some setup time, and I am sure that they are expecting more once the boat is dialed in. "Only 120mph" will pass a lot of boats on the water.
Keep up the good work the boat looks great.

yes 120 mph is a fast speed but lookin at the silver one that runs so fast this one with the same relative power is not going near that ones speed and looking at a 368 skater they are running in the 130s with 525s far less power than either of those two 30s so reguardless of drives or small i would have thought it would be much faster

It will be faster, this is a new boat, new setup, and it has not been streached out yet. Give it a little time.

This project came out amazing!! I particularly love the way the windshield turned out, totally functional and yet really - really nice profile in complimenting the lines of the boat.

There really is nothing like a Skater!
