Your boat is certainly light in the water.

man that boat rides awesome!
my brother and i went out with 1/3 tank of fuel. headed out of ft. lauderdale jetties. it was about 3-5s out and about 20knts of breeze. Couldnt get on a plane at first. i think the high speed jets were just clogged from sitting for 19 years. But when she did open up, ohh man we took off! only got up to about 4200 RPM for a few small bursts in between larger swells, but felt like 45-50mph easy. never been on a boat that rode so damn good!
The stock power steering is kinda sketchy though, probably switch to hydraulic soon. Im pretty happy with the Sing beater!
Going to the factory tomorrow with it. take a spin around cape coral, maybe find some flat water.
