Thanks. Looks like the bass stream does have similarities but seems wider in back or not as much of a angle the way back shaped. I've did little more reading on it and seems they like a little speed, hopefully it works out. Thanks for the pic

My 19 foot champion dry weight is around 1400 pounds...
Daddy taught me to never force anything but to just get a bigger hammer.

Quote "I'm wondering if 240ish hp will move it mid to hi 80s or touch 90?? Thoughts on this?"
I must be getting old..... I don't want 80's or 90's anymore.
Years ago I was going 30's and wanted 40's.
Then it was 40's wanting 50's and so on.
I've spent tons of money on new boats/motors all to go faster than the one before it.
When I finally got to mid/upper 90's, I've had my taste and don't have that need anymore. At 90 mph, the boat is moving 132 feet per second. Throw in some waves, bright sun, and a handful of driving on a surface that hides 99.9% of it's potholes and hazards.....things can go bad to worse very quick. I looked around and there were no Zodiacs nor Scuba rescue volunteers nearby to pull me out from underneath the boat. A stuffed bow, a violent hook, or barrel roll could be my last.
Be careful and use it wisely. GordonLast edited by Gordon02; 12-27-2018 at 11:53 PM.
