I took The Spook down for a run and was very pleased with its efforts. GPS read 167 kph and tacho memory of 7300. Water had a bit of chop but boat was quite stable at high speed. The new rudder design made it a lot easier to hold in a straight line. The 7300 rpm was probably as a result of the prop loading and unloading on the chop under hard acceleration which hurts prop efficiency.
