    When does a fast boat....

    I agree with you Chris. When I started boating and not too awful long ago a 200HP engine was a big deal and a speed boat that ran in the 60's was hauling a$$, other than a few Hydrostream nuts.(and they were blowing over alot) Now a 250HP is average and look at all the boats on here that have...

    Anyone ever blueprint a Starflite hull?

    I havnt done A Starflight but I did take the hook out of my Enchanter, about 3/16" in the last 1' and a rocker on the right side 3' forward, Didnt help the speed much, did alow me to use a little less trim.

    You should have every day speeds and perfect condition speeds, some boats are very sensitive to water & weather conditions. 1989 Starflight 1995 Yamaha Pro-V 200 16" custom set-back bracket w/integrated pwr jack plate 1/4 tank fuel one person 25P Yamaha prop at 5900rpm 72MPH 24P "Spinelli"...

    Tow with cover on or off?

    I tow with it off unless it's raining hard, I think it puts alot of wear & tear on the cover and the corners of the windsheild frame. Like was said, if it starts to come off it can do some real dammage and you cant see it.
