Go ask the guys in the Scarab forum who own them. Don't take my word for it, don't just assume it's not correct - do your own research.

If that statement is not correct, I'll retract it. But, show me some data to the contrary. :drink:

I have a 1998 29' with twin 454's stock that runs mid 70's for sale. If you are planning on towing your boat anything over 30' becomes a pain in the arse and you have to have the right vehicle to tow it. That is why I wanted the 29' over the 35. Just my 2 cents........

On its best days this is true. Powerboat Mag tested it for a best of 76.7 in 1996.

If the boat is now running Bravo drives in lieu of Blackhawks it will not likely run those speeds. The P-29s are about 700 lbs lighter than a convential 29 due to it being laid up with kevlar.
