In other words help give it a bigger-( footprint(drive)? Im looking to gain 5 mph more on the top end an also wanting to come out of the water up on plane quicker, can any of this be done id really like to have the extra tq and hp of the 787 , I like the boat it is clean and in great shape and really dont wanna sell for a bigger boat.
