The guy on Vermilion with the Twin Suzuki 300 on a 10x30 Premier runs his fairly often, We were running in 5.7L powered 22.5' Lund Baron @ 50mph and he over took us by a good 10-15mph. My grandpa's neighbor who knows that said that guy has been tweaking the mega toon trying to get 70mph out of it, best run of 69 empty so far. It sucks down 46gph @ WOT! that would kill my tank in under 30 minutes!

I'm betting there is almost no difference except for maybe a few more stringers. I am seriously debating on putting a 300 suzuki on the back of mine instead of buying a new toon.

Certainly cool and amazing to do 107 on a toon, but no sign of even an inflatable pfd and apparently no kill switch lanyard isn't real smart no matter how good you are. Stuff does happen. I've been 100+ in a 20' STV tunnel and while the driver (an experienced pro racer) made it look easy, it's very serious business. We had Lifeline jackets on and I was glad he made me wear it. Fun ride though

Yep...sub frame in front too, around the huge ski well. I don't recall the exact length but it's pushing 30'. At this time it's not for sale, my buddy and I want to build him a go-fast toon with it. But hey, you nver know. He has been known to change his mind more often than his drawers. I'll check on the gate...your rails don't slope down any where, correct?
