hahahahaha!!! sorry to break it to ya mike, but if you wanted to go 45 mph, you should of got a bigger hull. There is NO WAY your going to be in control of a 24 inch hull going 45 mph.
have you thought about hull reinforcement?? your going to need it.
also, what about trim tabs?? I'd order up a few sheets of sheet metal, your hull is going to look like a sailboat if you want your boat to be controlable.
not trying to bust your ego, I'm just being realalistic.
I think we said all this already just a FYi.
and here is another. i have had a 25 inch hull at over 45mph.
and the sv27s are a great example. they are what 26 inches or something ?
well they have shown to do 42mph and they are 2 inches bigger.
do you know the front 1/4 of a mono is useless when its on plane. It does very little. so really a 24 inch hull could have the same size ride pad as a 26 or 28 inch hull
