How does that beast handle with the tower? With that narrow beam and deadrise that things got to to rock and roll pretty bad doesnt it?

Do It

roll is not that bad, as long as the boat is in motion, at rest it is trying, esp if your up in the tower....as far as a good fishing platform, it's "ok" speed has always been my brothers pet-peeve, as that boat wth the twin 502's could top 90mph and wth the bimini and out riggers, @60mph was all she could do wthout blowing down the top and riggers

funny little story:
durring the 1994 WMO, we were @30 miles offshore, heading in, sea's were dead calm and we were running @40mph, when Russel on the American Lady called me and said we're comming-up on your 6 and they caught up to us, then outta' nowhere, here comes the Reel Joy and the Concrete Machine, all of us were running 40+, then all of a sudden the Reel Joy and the Concrete Machine started inching ahead, my brother bummped up the throttles and matched there speed, then they started inching ahead. Jeff bumped the throttles again and again they matched it, after about 15 mins of this cat n' mouse game, we were up to 50 mph wth that Damn 65' Donzi (Concrete Machine) abeam of us Jeff bumped the throttles again and we were doing 55mph and pulled ahead of her, man what a ride in that was
