What was 100 like in that boat? Was your boat the one that Tyler Crocket went 100 in??
My Panther went low/mid 70's with 502/500's on TRS and it tended to porpoise if not trimmed right. It was fun for a while but as I got older I needed a smoother ride. I've been in some rough water in that boat, I felt it flex and waffle the hull a bunch of times... One time in particular I broke a bulkhead, spraned my wrist on the throttle, broke a cabinet and had the radio shoot out of the wall....that was by far some of the roughest water we encountered... Once we rounded the corner from the Ocean to the bay it was the only time I ever thanked god we made it back. I slowed the boat down and checked for water leaks to make sure we weren't sinking....
My Panther taught me a valuable lesson; my next boat wouldn't be a production based boat.
