I have a 2001 Gun T/S and I can tell you this..... I ran from stop 4 to stop 5 with "color me bad" and we went side by side for probably 10 miles wide open. It was a dead heat, we were literally side by side. I had a blast. When we got back to the dock he said that we were running 84.5mph which he showed me on the gps speedo tattletale. My Gps was off a little (new unit wrong ant.) I got a chuckle because I am only running HP500EFI's, he has HP525's and my motors have about 250 hours on them.

As for rough water handling you couldnt be more incorrect about T/S Top Guns. They are fantastic in the rough stuff. Velocity is good also but not the same. I was able to compare the two back to back before I bought my Gun. I also live very close to the open ocean. Also look at the 2001 APBA F-2 season where Tres Martin won with a T/S hull in what was probably the roughest water season in years. They proof is in the puddin......
