    more fast is more fun--BUT-- reaction time for me in the waters where I boat would make an 80 MPH top speed just fine.

    Early 70's. (I mean 1970's) low 60's was great. 80's. mid 70's was awsome. in the 90's 80+MPH. I was in heaven. Turn of the century.. had to have 90+. Now.. I would love to hit the 100 mark but I can't even get to 90, New boat ?? may be. in 2010 100MPH After I turn 60. A big azz cruiser with tripple yenmars and a nice 70. top, 60 at cruising speed.

    So.


    It's all relative.

    But of course, I have a 4'x8' plywod with a single Merc, 1050 that will go over 200. It's my bucket list. Safety?

    100 mph for bragging, 75 mph for boating.

    For our 292, I would love to break 90 mph and have an efficient 60 mph cruise turning 5-blade props. I think this hull can safely handle 90 mph on reasonable water. Already have full hydraulic steering and K-Planes... Just need more disposable income!

    I would like to break the century mark myself. We are in the 92-94 range now so I don't think it is out of the question. I just need some shorties and a new set of wheals.

    I was wondering what that lump in your throat was.

    120 all day long cruise....200+ top.
    Forget Lightspeed go straight to LUDICROUS SPEED!!

    I know the last time I saw it it was still a little rough and you guys were focused mainly on the power and redoing the cockpit for the shootout. I can't wait to see it now.. That old Skater couldn't be in better hands..

    The 39' TG w/700's runs 100+. Perfect Vee.

    The 388 Skater(like GatorOne's) or 40' MTI w/1075's about 150. Perfect Cat.
    Treat every situation like a dog, if you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away.
