In the water this weekend. Oh yeah she is quick. I didn't stay on the handle for long or let it top out but got on it just enough to know she is fast. The balance is perfect, it handles great. Very smooth no chine walk or any unwanted motion. She hopped right up on plane and ran flat out. I didn't look at the gps speed but would guess it will be a 60 mph plus boat. Sometimes with a bracket you get some bad characteristics from bad balance but I must of got this one right. The motor was too high at 5" above the keel so I dropped it to 3.5" above now and need to run it again. The prop slipped a little before if I trimmed it up to high. I knew it would need to come down some but just tried it that high just to see.
