Is lack of speed coming from the Searider hull design or is there something else ?

Seven years on and two changes of owner later it's still a good un. Thanks Matt.

Also a big thanks to Chris and the guys at Henshaws that have just replaced the rubbing strakes that had seen some heavy use.

Still goes really well. Got 37.5 knots out of it last summer with 2 people on board and I think it had a bit more left in it. Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByRIB Net1458628335.262929.jpg Views: 258 Size: 47.6 KB ID: 111398
