The 29 will be fine, that boat has a big wing and lifts very easy out of the water and flies, Like most cats, she is not hard to make go fast, it's the balance that needs to be right, 33-35 % cg, strut up 3/8" from bottom of ride pads to center of flex cable. 1 degree of negative on the bow to push the bow down, not up like a deep v. The goal is to pack air under the hull till she flies, and she will with your red line motor. You want her to fly straight and level, Right hand rid pad in the water from engine torque. prop tips and rudder tips in the water, everything else out of the water and you have her dialed in, if she is bow up like all cats, she is going over.backwards. The MTI is a great running boat, you should see 60 MPH as your goal. You are in Miami, see if Octavio (CP mods) will put one of his modified QD's in there for fun she will go faster then 60MPH
