I'm recently retired, so I'm not in the mood to collect data any more. I just want to go fishing.....LOL. As a PE, I would have recorded "Time To Plane", "Min Planing RPM", etc. Soooo, you'll just have to make do with my subjective observations.

The Montauk planes faster, at a lower RPM. Bow rise was minimal before - now it is nonexistent. In heavy seas I would have to constantly accelerate to keep her on plane - now I get o plane and she stays on plane with no fiddling required. The performance curve that BW published is spot on and it has not changed. There is no loss it top speed.

The performance for a store-bought setup was awesome before - now it is perfect.
