If the hull is going to be pushed near or over it's design limits the first problem is probably going to be "chine walking". Maybe less likely with a deep V

Just get an old phantom or ring. There are a few ring ribs but prices might not fit the budget. It feels a lot nicer sat down in a boat at 70mph than on a jockey seat I can assure you.

Any boat needs steady input at that speed and some respec! Mine used to chine on a mill pond flat day at 71mph.
