That being said, I think losing "several" mph just by upsizing your graph is questionable. JMO though.


X2---Not going to slow it down enough to even really notice. Power-Poles are another story all together!

Heck, the solution is simple, get rid of the graphs, dress like an Olympic speed skater and fast the week before that 45 mile run. That should get you up to 75.8 mph.

that's kind of ridicules, I guess if a boat cant get the bow up at all on plane yes, but champions, etc have no problem with that like most...wind resistance? yes the more barn door in the wind the more resistance, if someone is worried about 1/2 or less mph good luck.
