Definitely NOT a pickle fork! Great hull design, styling, handling and performance but there isn't much that can stay with a pickle fork tunnel hull boat, whether it's a standard tunnel hull or a ModVp tunnel hull with the center pod and the outer sponsons! I miss My mid 90's STV Pro Comp ModVp tunnel hull, that thing was faster from 0 to a hundred MPH than ANY car I have ever been in or ran against!

Boat would do 85mph with two people in the boat. At that speed there was nothing in the water but the drive. It would chine walk sideways at top end. Felt like you where flying! Techs all wanted to work on that boat just for the test drive afterward.

LoL.. that 3.0 liter V6 Merc is heavy enough. I've seen what looked like this exact same boat, though it may have been a 21' instead of a 20'er, hit high 80's to a tad over 90mph consistently with the lighter, higher revving 2.5 liter V6 Merc 2-stroke on the back. Now my buddy that owned the boat had spent time getting the set-up right as far as prop shaft height to the bottom of the pad(hull's running surface) and setback, prop and having prop fine tuned etc. But for a stock 200hp outboard it was VERY impressive to say the least! I'm sure those overweight, monster 4-stroke outboard motors do well on bigger, heavy hulls that can use the torque but the biggest thing with these lighter weight performance hulls is WEIGHT..
