Re: 30 Outlaw how fast??
 

Call Hawkeye Boat Sales in Dubuque Iowa. I know they had seat time in a new 30 with 525EFI's and were very impressed with it. Ran even with or a bit faster than a 33 they have with 575SC's. I'm not positive but I think Steel Outlawed is right and Hawkeye said they had the 30 in the upper 80's.

Yea didn't someone on here have a 30 running high 80's with 525s or 575s a while back,I remember it was pretty cherry looking going through the water.

Re: 30 Outlaw how fast??
 

OK, so here is my question..........All we heard was how the 30 was going to be 5-7 mph faster than the 29 b/c of all this wind drag modifications and such but it appears there was no gain b/c we know of a 29 Outlaw on this forum that runs 78-79 with the 496ho's. So why would I go buy a new 30 when the 29 is basically the same speed, if speed is what I am looking for? One can buy a slightly used 29 for thousands less than this 30.

Re: 30 Outlaw how fast??
 

Thousands less!!!???? How about 10’s of thousands less!!!!

You could buy my 29 for $75,000 and it runs 79.6 on GPS with 496HO’s.

Anyway – we all understand what you’re saying about the 30 Outlaw. Early reports had it running 5mph faster than a 29 because of all the RDT&E (wind tunnel, etc). It looks like all that RDT&E got maybe 1-2mph yet the cost of all that RDT&E is passed on to the buyer.

Oh really? pretty attractive price for not having a lot of hours and being meticulously well cared for
