Another SPEED question...

In my 18'x 22" multichine I cruise comfortable at about 4.1 mph. Just for comparison, if I got one of the skinniest surf skis out there - how much faster would I go for the same effort?

I've always liked the idea of a craft so skinny and speedy you literaly have to keep moving to stop from tipping - even in calm water. That is tho, so long as theres this terrific speed advantage.

Thanks as always Guys!!!!
