I had a 98 model with 502's and on the river it would do 78 mph gps every day, very easy boat to operate no planing issues. Rough water water wise we had a formula 336 and it handled Lake Erie's rough water hand's down better.
Boat looks awsome Rob.
Glad you finally got it back togather. Hope your able to enjoy it this year.
Mine is tucked away waiting for spring can't wait to get it out. No major plans to update this year as the wife informed me of a few major projects were doing to the house this spring (whoopee)...
