I've got an old 17' tri-hull with a Merc 1350 on it. It will do 40+ which is plenty fast.

Yeah I’m on Hudson in NEOK tons of stumps. Had a similar situation with a 29’ fountain. I love power boats. Don’t wish them ill but man our little lakes about 8 miles long. And shallow in spots. It’s an ego thing.
When I was 17 we put a head gasket on my grandpas boat. It was a 32’ boat with twin 502s. My dad worked his ass off for every dollar he ever had and did this work on my moms dads boat because he let us use his house. Long story short we brought it home to NEOk from LOTO. Rebuilt the out drive, new pump and a head gasket then it sat for two years. We decided to take it down to a local fishing spot before taking it back just to make sure it was all on the up and up. We had this big ass boat and a bunch of Amish dudes were fishing in their John boats pulling them with tractors. We weren’t wealthy by any means but I felt like such a douche. I don’t understand the desire to be the big fish. Go to the big pond with the other big fish lol.
