Running surface of a Malibu SV23 hull or...insert your favourite hull brand here. Lighter weight Aluminum hull. Let's get this thing down to 2200 pounds or less. If you need more weight for better tracking have strategically placed ballast tanks. 300 HP 2.6 liter supercharged inline 6 (like the Mercury Verado or similar) mounted vertically with a tranny mounted below. This would reduce the drive shaft angle, improve prop efficiency, improve holeshot, increase walk around room, decrease weight, etc. Include the Nautique style saddlebag ski storage of the 200 and put in a single lid transom locker for vests, ropes,etc. that has dual position opening (either from the boat or from the transom)....Hit it!
