Comments: Very nice boat, Matt was happy with how smooth the ride was and the performance of the engine. He felt like the engine wasn’t even working hard to push the boat, was his statement. He liked the fact that he can cruise 19 knots burning around 17.5 gph in a big boat. We all agree that with some lifting rails to make use of the spray that this boat could be a 24+ knot boat and would improve hull efficiency greatly.
