For the rougher water that you guys typically run in, the extra weight and forward CG is a good thing. Living on the Delta waterways, I'd say my running is about 70% smooth (river), 30% rough (bay/ocean) - so I tend to favor keeping my rigs as light as possible. I still like them balanced well, but as light as possible. I already plan on just running with full tanks when I'm out in the bigger water. Having an extra 1,000 #s of fuel under the cockpit floor will make a big difference on an outboard setup.

The one out of Performance Center ran 117 with junk props - Merc Max5s? Sounds like this one will get 120+ as well, once the owner spends some money on a good set of cleavers. I think we're seeing now that the 318s are going to be an honest 120-125mph setup when dialed-in with 400Rs. What a difference from the 100-105 that the 308s ran with 300XSs.
