We just got back from Lake Elsinore. The new Howard Sportdeck hit the water today, and I am more than impressed. This was not a speed test at all, but there was plenty of speed to be had. Better than that, the boat handles awesome and turns perfectly. It was the worst Cat conditions possible: Hot, Humid, and a sheet of glass. There were 4 of us in the boat and we had over 1/2 a tank of fuel. Let me just say this: This boat easliy accellerates beyond 90 mph with a STOCK 28 four blade prop. We did not even test props or push the boat to its maximum potenetial. I wonder what its top speed is?????????Time will tell, I cannot. This boat is going to make a lot of people VERY happy(Not including other manufacturers). I will post some pics as I get them.

Looks awesome, what motor is in there...
Ok you posted the pics as i was typing, very nice...
how much is that package as it sits...
What is the size of the boat?
I am not sure how much Howard is getting for the boat at this point, I think $100K with a 496. I would be willing to bet it will run over 70 mph with a 496 no problem!

I believe the size is 28.5'. The lay up must be perfect, because it did not feel heavy at all, but it was totally solid and stable at ALL speeds!

I had a Howard 22 OFF Shore open bow and was impressed at the overall quality and details of the boat. This looks like a typical Howard!
