[QUOTE="SC Designs, post: 423679, member: 20199"] Hey guys, here's a little update on the performance. Everything is running great, she seems to be the most happy cruising 35 mph. and at that speed the motor doesn't seem to be working hard at all. I am a little disappointed in the top speed though. Right at 46 is all she will pull. I feel there is a lot of drag on the hull. I used a roll on bed liner that has a really rough surface. I was more concerned with sealing rivets than speed. I bet if I had put something like Gator Glide on there it would be a little faster but its fast enough. As far as fuel burn, I haven't really run it enough to get an accurate number. I'm still in the break in stage with the new top end on the motor. Attached below is a pic of all three Jon's that I have built in the past year. This was from last weekend. [/QUOTE]
