Fastest 20' Cigarette
I'm thinking of a 20' Cigarette project. How much power can they handle. What speeds can be achieved with 850 hp or so?
Do they have any weird handling traits at speed?
Thanks,
Kurt

Yes, it would be rigged with a Konrad 540
I've seen many rigged from the factory with a TRS/MercTrans. Is there enough room in the engine compartment for a B/W 72C transmission?

A 71 C Will just barely fit according to Mike Baldwin His Boat has a 540CU/71c TRS Combination.I would think that in order to overcome all of the parasitic drag caused by the transmission ,that you would want to have at least 1000 hp on tap.Toms boat has a 700 Hp Ritchie Zul power-plant and it is Bad-ass!I could tell that boat was coming just by the sound. P.S. Make sure that your life insurance is paid up
