I've had my HYDRA-SPORTS that fast with my 225(or at least that's what the cowling says
), and it weighs about 800 pounds more in just hull weight. I believe 60 is possible, but the deep vee hull has drawbacks at those speeds. A deep vee hull will continue to climb up the faster you go so there is less boat in the water the faster you push her. The problem lies in the fact that at a certain speed there is so little of the boat hull in the water that she eventually becomes very unstable.
