The P4 isnt a race boat,,,but is a far cry from a slouch either, and carries a load better than anything ive been in. Properly set up the P4 will perform in the low 70s with a moderate/light load, and in the high 60s with a full tournament load and livewells. That aint bad at all, and will absolutely smoke most rigs in the rough water ! It is, IMHO, the most versatile boat BCB builds at this time, D.
