It seems to work fine. Takeoff is fine with 5 people aboard. Top speed was 41 mph and cruise 32 mph at 4000 rpm. Holds good on plane to 22 mph. With 20mph winds the water was rather rough. It was a completely dry ride and rather smooth given the 2' chop. It needs trim tabs as it leans much and using the outboard to lower the bow for a smooth ride is inefficient. Hydraulic steering would also be nice but adjusting the little fin should make it acceptable with cable steering.
