Personally Noli, as far as going 120 in a cat. I would get my feet wet first before jumping into a big fast cat and possibly hurting yourself, and possibly someone else. If you want speed, throw a pair of 350 Verado's on the back of your boat instead of the 300's. You'll probably do around 90. And believe me Noli, 90 on the water is pretty quick in a 34 V.

I want to experience both of these:

Are there schools out there to teach me to run a Skater at 120MPH? Rick can you teach me?
So 2 - 350 Verados will push the 34 to 90+ MPH Rick?
Jamie, just the numbers you were lookin' for
noli
- running 90+ MPH on the 34 V
- running 120 MPH on a Skater

Just something to look out for if you jump to a cat of that size (based on some things my buddy went through a few years ago)- insurance can be tough to get, which can make a loan hard to get.
I would rig that 34' up, run it balls to the wall (how about trip 300's!) and have some fun with it! Then hit up some people with cats for rides, figure out if it is really the right boat for you, and then decide if you want to make the jump!

If it could it get to 90 with twin 350s...imo, thats the way to go.
Whatever you end up doing, its been fun watching the build up of the 34, Noli.
