Btw back to the discussion about weight. My boat is heavier than an STV and Im 6'4" 250 pounds and it has definitely helped me stay dry. Heavy and small tunnel (less lift) When I try some new setup Ill slide my seat all the way forward and go from there. It makes a big difference in my boat.

Chris u hands down got the trophy for top speed/small boat and need one for most hours of set up testing also

The bigger blade was way under ten percent slip. Wally and many others can attest to me testing in coveralls and like twenty to thirty passes until we got the motor height right. The little prop would run 145 all day every day Without problems. Handling was the issue with the big prop. There is more potential in the big prop but I like breathing so once we broke one fifty we called it quits. This all started with what was to be a lake boat so thats why that boat was used and not a lightweight race boat. I've run in 137.5 with the back seat in. This boat was no fluke. Any well set up STV with a trued bottom and good power will run big numbers. Even a Euro set up right will run right at one thirty.

I was there we still talk about it great run. I always wondered why hanks boat looked so out of control??was it motor height or prop diameter? Seems like that boat could really punch a big number thanks just my 2cents

Now that some time has passed, anyone ever seen one of the new stv decks?!
