[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 425186, member: 12995"] My floor has the slight V to it but it's no big deal, I got used to it pretty quick. If you put marine ply in the boat, it will add quite a bit of weight and slow you down. My top speed is around 28-32 mph and it planes off in 1 or 2 boat lengths with the weight forward. I normally run upstream around 19-20 mph because it's the smoothest cruising speed(I'm in no hurry and I hate to waste gas). I think it will still plane around 14-15 mph but never really paid attention to it. I have a jet tunnel so my motor is mounted higher up, not sure if that hurts or helps, but I don't worry as much about the rocks. This year was probably the lowest the Delaware River has been in a long time so it was nice to have a tunnel jet setup. I'm happy with the overall setup of the boat and the only thing I might add is a bimini to be able to get out of the sun. Here's a picture before I put the windshield and railing on the console.
