Can you post some pictures of the hull and the layout? Sounds like a good set up.

Running light yes it was, but with a load no it wasn't and im almost always carrying a load. With load described above the go devil would only do about 23mph and with a light load it would run 28

Got to run the new pro drive on my lease in delacroix. Got some shallow water speeds and some loaded down speeds.
Shallow water with light load was solid 27 mph.

We took it bowfishing friday night and had 4 people(250, 290, 200, 160), 150 qt ice chestw/40lbs of ice, bows light bar, 12 gal of gas, and 3 batteries. And boat got on plane and ran 22 mph. In deep water. I was blown away!
We shot about 300 lbs of fish friday night and on way back had a little trouble getting it to plane out but eventually it did and did 16mph on the way back in.
