Thanks everyone. Not sure if we can make the gathering.This is still a work in progress but now the motor is on it will be driven. The motor is more than enough power for the hull, it's set up well currently but can't really run at WOT until full break in period is complete. The power band on the Mark 58 is mid stream it should have a nice whole shot but the power is up on plane around 3000 and up. This boat is very light I will in testing have to move weight around to finally get the ride I'm looking for. Up on plane around 25 hull ran thru the water well. GD if I had to guess right now that motor will push the hull 40+ but I'm not sure the hull will ride well at those speeds. I like that extra power to have but doesn't mean the boat will be run at WOT. Current set up 50lbs sand bag in bow, gas tanks mid hull, large 70lbs battery at back seat. I have the large battery just for testing will go with a jet ski battery in the future.
