Temps look fine now....you could run it for a 1.5 minutes and see how much hotter it gets.

Went for a 1-1/2 minute run today, problem was... I stopped at 41 seconds.
The good news, I hit 47.1 MPH, the bad news, I hit a bouy too.
Water conditions were much better than yesterday. I didn't get a chance to check temps because it took a while for the boat to drift to shore. The Blizzard does not have any damage except a very small chip out of the paint on the left sponson. A pinhead - the size of the paint chip, not me.

Went for a short run again today. It was windy and, dare I say it... SLEETING!! I made two good runs (with the wind) and when running back to make a third it blew over.
Wind blew the boat to shore in short order but I think it had cooled down by then. I opened the hatch and the GPS read 48.6 MPH.

What kind of top speed can I expect with my current setup?
What kind of speed can this hull handle.
And what would it take for it to go faster (within reason)?There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."Comment
