Activator vs Superboat y2k
 

Have been looking real hard at the y2k, here some good things about the boat,and love the way it looks. But now I have been looking at the 30 Activator and would like for some
input on it. And how it compairs to the y2k. Thanks for any info.

What power are you thinking of?

600 to 700 hp

700 in a 30 Activator runs over 100 every day, in just about any conditions. Two of my friends have them and LOVE them.

Search OSO for posts by BJM. He has a new 30 with 700hp/IMCO drive.

There is a Y2K for sale w/a 600SCI which the guy say does 82-84.....Activator goes a lot faster with that kind of power from what I hear (a 525 dialed in will get it to 85)

30 Activator with a 600sci what type of number would I get out of it.

Low 90's probably.

Check out this link from the Activator website:

http://www.activatorboats.com/Press.php

It shows test results for 2 east coast boats(Activator and Superboat) and 2 west coat boats(Advantage and Eliminator). All boats had 525's. Activator ran 79 and Superboat ran 72.

The superboat went 77.1 the activator went 79.3 ,look at the page on activator website(might need glasses)

Dave, your right. I was there for the testing and photo shoot. The Activator was 2.2 MPH faster then the Y2K. The Activator was also running a shorty with a 6 blade Herring. You forgot to mention that Garys boat was the first generation Y2K hull. The new hull is 3-5 MPH faster then the old one.
