I think someone photoshopped that video, there is no wake from that hull!

Can you remove the prop, fasten the motor down so it doesn't tilt, & get someone to tow you at that speed, with the same load on yours & with a spring balance in the towline, I be very interested in the reading.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

we aren't clever enough to find the photo shop . so yes it is us in the picture . while this boat is the fastest ply 20 footer in the country I'm keen to explore other design ideas. This boat is offered for sale to help recover materials cost .
