Very happy with the boat. Extremely solid, turns nice at speed (25mph plus) but does put up some spray. Will wait for a while to decide on rails or not. Though I raised the waterline up 2 ", it is low at the bow.
I would (doing it again?) find some way to increase the cockpit length. It is to plan but too tight.
After doing some adjustments to the 351 Ford and getting her idling nicer, we took her out for a run. Everything worked perfect!
This thing is mind boggling out of the hole
! I remember Dean talking about his when the four barrels kick in and it is certainly a Holy S..t thrill. Love it! Cruises nice at 25 to 30 mph and actually had her up to 45+ at around 4200 rpm. Sure she will do 50, but not really that comfortable....things happen too fast. It is after all a small boat! 
No good pics of her cruising as we were alone without chase boat. But here's a couple . My friend and engine builder was with us with his wife as well as my wife Verna. ( She loves it!)
