    no such thing.......

    to really handle those waters...........a "go fast" & "handle rough water" boat will never exist............guess it really depends on what you mean by "fast". If you mean over 70mph......ain't ever gunna happen.
    the slower (60mph'ish) boats already exist, they are called "multi species" boats.

    Ohh it's possible, smooth ride comes from narrow boats. I had a warrior v2090 20'5"x 90" with a tired 200 efi that went 59mph (25"transom, 30+"gunnels multi species hull rated 300hp), so we all like wide boats these days, so why not make the hull stepped, but not the front to back more like left to right, make the running surface 60" wide then a 3" jump up to a secondary running surface to 75" wide then the gunnel angled to 96+" like normal.

    again, 60mph is doable for a lot of rough water handling boats, but 60mph is not considered "fast" anymore. I'm saying to get a 70MPH+ bassboat that handles Lake Erie very well, is not going to happen.

    Also! If fishing those lakes, why does anyone need a 70mph boat. You'll use that speed about 1% of the time on those lakes!
