Ran one of these for years. Yes, they are very heavy hulls but I put a ton of fish in mine over those years. With my 40 merc I pushed it to 52mph but wasn't very comfortable pushing that small old hull at those speeds. Working on my 16' xpress hull now as my old marshrunner had seen its better days lol.
