The only thing I have found we like with the speed and large cabin is a 43 Nortech.

Im not spending 300k on a boat though.

We are looking at a 40 Outlaw with 575's and ITS -XR's

I need to get it down enough to cover swapping to at least Imco SC's so I not blowing drives once I do a pulley swap

I wish someone would make an step by step thread for this.... I am going to need it and would much appropriate it.

Speed is what makes powerboating get STUPID expensive. IMO stick with 70-80mph or just spend big money on a boat already setup with Arneson, NXT, #6.

A 100mph bravo based boat broken at the dock is not as fun as a 75mph boat out on the lake.

I will NEVER buy a bravo based boat again!

Good luck on your hunt for a new boat!

A Bravo and some responsible throttling should be ok

No way Im gonna try to get a big heavy straight bottom boat any faster then that
