Thanks for the info. It looks like you own boats similar to what I am looking at. I am looking at eliminator sprint also a 77 liberty and a 75 southwind. I am looking for a boat that handles well that I can shread turns in. I dont really need to go any faster than 80 but my friends set up bouie course and race around. I am a little worried about the ultra being heavy but could be way off base I have no idea also it is 20 feet long vs 18 and 19 I see most others using. The only one I have ridden in is the 18 foot southwind and was impressed.
