Most people I've raced with (including my own experience) judge the MC to clearly handle better than the Blackjack. In a straight line they're both fairly equal, 'tho if the BJ could eliminate the built-in bouncing it probably could edge out the MC - My MC is set up for oval and can ride the rear sponson & rip. The BJ has straight sponson bottoms with cuts to simulate steps but runs wetter. The MC corners better - all the BJ's I've seen (including the 2 I've set up to test [and reject] for oval) corner like a dirt-track car - sliding around the 75 foot radius oval turns. Looks cool but scrubs speed. The MC corners on rails by comparison.
If you're setting up a NAMBA style offshore course there's some really tight turns around the offshore course pins that are better handled by a mono hull (unless your last name is Presnell, Newland or Jordan).
I've set up several hulls for offshore including a dual rudder Mean Machine (too much drag) but my MC is a proven race winner for the last 7 years + a NAMBA P-Ltd. Cat 2-Lap record holder . Either boat will get you in the water so go for whatever you like
