It's an 02 37 Quadstep, 1000's w/6's. The boat runs 110 tabs down with plenty of power left, but over that becomes more than a handfull, thats why I was wondering if the TG's had the same manners at those speeds.

42 and larger OL,s are better at high speed. 37 OL,s are questionable ( according to who you talk to)

Thats funny, you beat me to the pic.

I've heard the same, but we're running on the lake, 37' is already big enough.

At high speeds say 115+ I wouldnt say the 42's great. I was on one at 110 and it was fine but Ive been told that hull is not too good. The single step 37's seem to handle better than the quads at higher speeds.

Maybe it's not possible in a v-hull, but i'd like to have stability at 120mph. My Cat is so stable at 120+ you could sip a martini.

Tazz,

When we ran the silver/red Factory Cig. 700 boat it chined a bit at appx. 105, backed off the throttles for a sec. and right back on them and it settled right in at 107 MPH.

We also ran it at 100 MPH + on the LOTO run. There are comments here on OSO about the cat guys being so surprised as we ran with, and passed many, of them. OU Want Some ran side-by-side w/ us the whole way to Big ****s. He can attest ----

Joe

P.S. Are you thinking about selling the OL and stepping up? hehehehehehe.....

Id say a 47 or 51 GTX would do the trick or maybe even a 46 Cig.

The OL is rock solid up to 110, it's OVER that where it becomes an issue. The OL will be run for one more summer then...who knows, i'm not brand loyal to any one boat, but from what I hear the Cig may be no better at those speeds .
