150 xs... dunno on speed, little over 85 with a 30p drag 4 last time I tried. I'm not confident in the steering so untill I get some wing plates I just cruise around.

150 on a vixen? Dang! I bet that makes for a really fun ride. I always loved them vixens. There is a nice one for sale up here that I would like to get but need to get my vulture on the water asap

I need to flip it and cut 1/2 of the strakes off the bottom, there is too much going on down there. Some guy in a blown jet boat came along side today, I let off at just about 7k, took him awhile to go by lol. Not sure if I'll keep that motor on it or not, it's not very user friendly handling wise. Prolly paint it up blue and white and put the hustler back on.
