Aint too sure exactly about tongue weight, the CoG is way way back, so it aint too bad. Had it since 2007, F250 (7.2 Diesel) pulls it along just fine....though it thinks friggin diesel is 2c a litre when doing it though :)

Mate, the hole shot on this

Sun, 2011-10-30 21:00

Mate, the hole shot on this is awesome, can go from dead still to over 40 knots in the blink of an eye. Luv the twins, its a dog on one motor though. Max speed during prop tests was 51 knots, bugga all fuel on board though and just me and boat mechanic. Normally carries 500 Lts fuel plus 30 of water.

Typical day for me is 4 guys, 8 dive cylinders and all the associated crap, and nice calm day can spank along at 44 - 46 knots.

 

Its magic in the rough, VERY dry boat, and i HATE (!!!!) getting wet unless under the water, not on top.

 

I luv it, its a great boat and as I say, i hope i can somehow sort the crap out and get through till May and no one has bought it. Sounds dumb but real long story.
