After running a triple, I have found there is 1 variable that HP just cant fix alone, that is efficiancy.

With having the 3rd drive lower in the water and the hull spitting the water out the back, the props appear to cut the water much more efficiantly, thus pushing the boat through the water.

I also think having the third motor sitting forward, the weight is better distributed. Now if twins w/staggerd stance were installed that too would help the issue.

We have also played with our x dimenssion and that too has made better speed.

Smaller triples do aquate to the same speed with less wear/break issues.

It sure will be interesting to see what Baja's new poker run boat will run with the 700's. I have been told there is ALSO many changes to the 40, weight savings, pad, notch etc. It's going to be a great next couple of weeks when it is shown /ran in public for the first time openly...
