not being a dick, just looking for the straight poop on how these (production) boats will perform, specifically the 35'

84 on H.O.'s seems pretty out of line. The seemingly smaller 35' Fountain won't run that (not even close) on H.O.'s

10+ miles an hour faster than my 353? on the same power? I dunno.... :rolleyes:

how about some prop and gear #'s for the 496 boat?

i would think maybe im wrong but the lighter these hulls and faster speeds, comprimise rough water ride...
i cant see a boat the same as my playboy runing 10 mph faster w/o a significant wieght dedution which would lead to a poor ROUGH water ride...
35ft is 35 ft.. the only way to get extra speed is a BIG reduction in wieght/ ride comprimise... same with the dragon... thats why i think the 39 cig only runs 89 comparably...

lighter is faster in ideal 1-2 chop conditions AND sells boats... but its not a real world standard... especially in the great lakes super chop...

hopefully ill get to test these new boats at miami in feb..maybe im wrong...

but I DONT THINK SO!!!
