They have made only a few of them and the one in the 35 Nordic kept having issues from what I was told.

Twin OB's. You really can't hurt the OB's with Smartcraft these days. They stop themselves before anything gets hurt. Too many RPMS, alarm goes off. Go through a sharp turn and lose H2O pressure on one side for a sec, alarm goes off. Really bullet proof 100+ mph packages.
I couldn't agree more! A nice 30-32 foot Cat with 300XS motors and you would have a 100MPH boat that kicks azz all day long. Plus, you can run it at 100MPH all day with decent fuel consumption [far better than any other engine]. If your cruising you will get about 2.1 to 2.4 MPG.
I agree twin outboards are a bullet proof combination coupled with a 2 year warranty on the motors....with an optional additional 2 year extended plan. You then have 4 years of warrantied motors and you can drive it like you stole it.

P.S. Always makes me laugh when we smoke a big twin engine boat with our little 28ft Howard Sportdeck.

A 30ft boat needs twins, period. No free lunches with a single engine. The money you spend on a high hp single will catch up fast to what it will cost to run twin stock power.......

I'm between twin 300xs outboards and scorpion 400's or mercury 525 stern drives, the 300 outboards and 400 scorpions will both be between 110-115mph and about the same price, or to go with the 525's and run in the 130-135 mph range and add about 25k. Predator has never put big blocks in the 32 yet.

[QUOTE=Smarty;3574676]If that is case then this website is not for that person who wants to top out at 60mph. Hell, I want my 15' Boston Whaler to run 60 mph.
should be easy....
