If your boats don't go 120 mph, you got no shot. As for the white 30, the thing went 106 with 825 hp, another 300 hp, +wilson lower unit,bottom blue-printed , herring propeller, lot's of luck.

Are you taking about the yellow and green F1 GMC 27ft boat that sold last year?

rageman28 03-02-2014 05:48 PM

Yes. The new owner has years of experience running the old team outlaw boat and has spared no exspence to make this boat the trick/fast piece it is.

I was wondering the same thing It looks alot like a B&M mega blower but I don't think it is. BDS maybe?

Unlimited jd 03-07-2014 06:20 PM

It's a whipple

TwoKs 03-07-2014 10:09 PM

Whipple, nice. They are screw type rotors right? what kind of boost do they usually put out on a setup like this?

mikebrls 03-08-2014 07:48 PM

Question, is the 30 a 27 with a swim platform ? or is it a true 30 foot of running surface .

Thank's
mike

rageman28 03-09-2014 01:26 PM

It's a foot more running surface with a swim platform.

mikebrls 03-09-2014 02:25 PM

Just stopped up at Rage Performance Boats and saw the new 30 Rage being built. The construction was far superior to any previous models. The fit and finish is second to none. The motor is going in and they're hoping to surpass the 125mph mark. check it out.

What is the difference in construction between pre 2010 and newer build , also while im asking how is the construction compaired to the other 30 foot 24 x 7 sb " SB has 2 different lay ups, light and regular, and the light supposed to be stronger for more HP.
Does activator just build one lay up and its built strong to begin with .

Thank's

Is there any video of either one of these 28's running out on water? Would really like to see one in action.

Thanks Mange, Now that I know there is one I will look around on google search. Hows that gray 27 comming along. Love that boat, nice job!

Your right talk is cheap , so bring your boat down to l.i. South shore poker run and you will find out what the yellow and white boat are packin!

rageman28 03-10-2014 08:14 AM

All of the Activator/Rage boats are vacume bagged balsa cored bottoms beveled and resin soaked compleatly sealed to stop water intrusion. They have divinicell hull sides and decks also vacume bagged. It would be easy to build them lighter but we like the way they handle at the heavier layup.

Would a balsa cored hull side 30 been a special order?

would the Balsa core side be stronger then the divinicell ?

my opinion? Yes.
The "white" one currently under the knife has balsa cored hull sides. Not a crack in it its a strong boat.

Some activator/rage have balsa in the sides, balsa being stronger however the bottom material runs up the side and the deck is glassed to the hull with two layers of 1708 biax, making the sides very strong with either core. If I wanted to save some weight foam was used

My 32 Activator had balsa core in deck, hull sides and bottom. It was vinylester in her too, right Mark? Oh man what a great and stiff boat!!!

The business end of things with the "white boat"

eagledm44 03-14-2014 10:36 AM

i think i went and looked at that progression. def have to say one of the cleanest used boats thats ive seen in awhile. also saw a sick 7 series bmw alpina. lots of luck with the white boat

rageman28 03-14-2014 11:07 AM

That bottom job looks awesome. I saw the yellow 27 the other day, the pictures don`t do it justice, it`s beautiful. I love the dash`s and the way he recessed the seats into the side of the cockpit. All the little details make it stand out from all the other 27`s
