Why would anyone want to go that fast in a 20foot SeaCraft?I hit 50 one time in my skiff in a foot of water on a slick calm day and it scared the you know what out of me.I guess I'm getting old!
You can say what you want about controlling chinewalk at that speed, but that hull was not designed for that speed. Somebody is going to get hurt...
I really hesitate to post on this, butIMHO, either the guy going 55+ mph in an old 20' seacraft doesn't know that he is exceding the design and safety limits of that boat, or he has a death wish.
