    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

    A 240 on that hull will quickly kill you.

    Theres no way possible it can b worse than what it's on now , it will damn sure hurt u quick , I'm adding 3 1/2 ft and a more modern hull , so I know it will do better than what I'm doin now. For the price I'm gonna try it , got a solid 01 for 1k. Hard to beat

    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. Gordon
