Neil, thanks for your homework on the SS vs the Montauk. Out of curiosity, why would the SS be better suited to the extra weight? Assume you mean a SS with a HO ends up at the same total weight as a Montauk with a regular etec?
I was thinking purely from a payload stand point. The 2 hulls are the same. One has 50 extra pounds of stuff in it. The SS with a 390 lb motor weighs 1240. A Montauk with a 320 lb motor weighs 1220 and 1290 with a 390 lb motor. If you prop it right, it will be a hand full. I would be willing to bet if the bottom is clean and the hull is dry, it will break 50 mph with a stainless steel prop.
