Very sad. Livin on the edge running that kind of boat at that speed.
I test ran a Donzi Sweet 16 powered by a 200hp Evinrude. I had it out on the Mullica after doing some work on the motor. As I was slowly inching the throttle forward to see what this boat can do I felt the boat start to chine walk so at that point I knew Not to throttle back to fast but even as I pulled back slowly it still kept dancin for a bit. Scared the heck out of me.

Scary Stuff,, The fastest I ever went was 95mph in a 1500 h.p inboard 34'fountain raceboat. Lots of wind in the face. The boats skip all over and trim tabs mean every thing.

i was in a 38 foot custom Husler race boat a few years back he had triple 502's.This boat was the fastest boat i was ever on we hit 100+. We hit a wave and launched completely clear of the water. We kinda launched a little ackward and when we slammed back down it jerked us all around.Close call.Yeah it was a bit nerve racking.
