You really need to have an in water demonstration of the boat you're wanting prior to purchasing one.  That's the only way you'll really know when you're getting enough boat and enough motor--and possibly not too much of either.

If your expectations are 45 mph, you'll have to go ESP and one of the really big motors.  That means you're going make a serious additional investment for 2 mph.  You might need to see what 40 mph feels like in one of these barges.  It's a whole lot faster feeling than 40 mph is in a bass boat.

If you're towing a fifth wheel, you'll have sufficient towing capacity for a tritoon.  I too have a proper diesel truck, and I really don't care to pull my Bennie any long distances.  They pull substantially heavier than they actually are due to bad aerodynamics and long length.

Good luck finding a good dealer.  As always, try to buy local if your dealer's willing to sell at a fair price.  And remember that not all dealers purchase these boats at the same price.  The industry has volume discounts, cash discounts and other incentives to get dealers to fill up manufacturing slots on a revolving 12 month basis--so they can work all year long.

You'll have a great time and remember one important thing. As you enjoy the experience, and as the owner/salesperson helps you to enjoy it, be absolutely sure that during all of the mutual enjoyment YOU GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING.

I'm actually a huge fan of email correspondence with the owner/salesperson instead of phone calls due to the above.

Other than that, get a great bottle of wine ready to pop.
