Yeah, the boats always ran good from day one. The hull is actually pretty light, It's just an open floor plan with a rod box, drivers box, and front is all dry storage.

That stage 2 is gonna push the he'll outta anything you put it on up to 19ft. When you get to 20ft it'll begin dropping off bc of weight, don't be nervous hoss!

I'm running a 19x48 that tapers to a 54" bottom. T6061 with 3/18 bottom. Heads, Carb, Cam, Muffler. Unloaded, once it hits 28.5 it starts to porpoise. I can add a 225 pound adult and 70 pound child and still hit 28.5.

It might me a 1MPH difference with a stock motor if it wasn't pinched, but I think the difference will be when you put a modded motor on it. The boat rides as if it want a little more power to really get it to run, its hard to explain. For instance when it was 2 of us in the boat with the same load, if he went to the back to much it would drop down to a steady 28 even, if he went to the front to much it do the same, but when he was balance out right it would hold 28.8. I emptied about 8 gallons of gas out of it sunday morning and took the yeti out of it and the boat really started running great for a stock motor.
