|  More BS about going fast.... 
			
			Now that my rig runs to 50mph......  it does seem very close to a " stable top speed. " At that speed it still feels solid, but getting a little loose too. So, for the couple of you with V's rigged to run 55 - 60 +, how's the handling at that speed ? |

			Mine feels good at speed. Unless I'm trimmed to the max in a small chop. Then she gets a little loose feeling. But that is when it runs the fastest.

			So what ?  No one's running over 50 mph ? I know we have two..........an 1/0 that ran 65 or more.........and maybe Destroyer's boat ? An outboard CC V that runs 60 mph. Yup, I'm bored. |
