. I thought u were going to call scott? If he had to sell it I'm sure he would do that but my guess is he has left it on since he uses the boat and likes the way the step affects the cruising attitude of the vessel. Plus, it keeps him out of the boost into the mid 70mph's. I'd give him a call at the cell # I gave you and he can explain it in great detail.

Thanks Baywatch, I decided to go look at it first before I decided to call or not. Looked at the Chief boat also and put my feelings about it out in "General Disscusion" Probably didn't win any friends there either.

*IMO that step is way too small to do any good... Steps like this are used on Cats and they use other aerodynamical aids too...
Besides Who needs steps.... Yesterday Step bottomed boats raced at speeds between 45-80 in N.Y....mostly at under 60. Someone said the waves was 3-4s but must say I believe the seas were bigger.

That's a pretty broad question Doc.... a side by side will run in the low to mid 80's a short stagger should run in the upper 80's maybe 90 on a perfect day and a full stagger in the 90's and in the case of this boat Bobby Moore put that step onto it and in my opinion I would take it off!!!

According to KC Steve a short stagger Pleasure version will run Mid 80's all day long...... LOL....

well since I used to own one I can pretty much tell you with the horsepower around 850 it ran a solid 80 everyday no matter what...on its best day it ran 84.....now jump on the boost and put good gas in it and throw some more lead in it, it would touch 90....

And her she is in all her glory!!!! And the engine builder is leaning on her!!!!!

I was on this boat ( Only Rumors )for the ShootOut all weekend. I know Brett at PPB is changing the posting to reflect 900's. The dyno pulls with the pulleys from COBRA reflect a bit over 860 right now. I have pics of the dyno screen actually. Side by Side this boat did high 80's all weekend. I think it has a taddle tale GPS speedo on it actually ...should still be on there. I have been in Lake Michigan with the same pulleys do low 90's. I just checked my hand held Garmin 60CSx and 84.5 is on there from the last day at LOTO. If the above posts are correct. I can only assume the step is the reason for the extra MPH. Naples took a pick with it running right on the step on a pretty good pass. I am the guy in the passenger seat. :-)

Maybe we should have this conversation over a drink somewhere!!!

Sean, This is Troy. ( The three of us went to LOTO and had a blast that weekend, the boat is just fantastic... I am sure you have seen the pics. She really turned out nice )I run my business in CP out of the same address as the shop. You should swing by sometime. Perhaps everyone can get together for a drink.
