anyone putting up any big numbers with a straight bottom 38? what kind of power?

Not big #'s by any means, but a straight bottom 38' with twin 525 EFI's & XR drives, 4 blade 28P props I get low 70's on GPS at ~4800 RPM. I "believe" if I drop pitch to 26 I'll get to 74-75 with another 300 RPM's. I'm going to work on it this spring....a straight bottom needs big HP to compete with the T/S guns. Still a great boat we are happy with.

I think fat boy broke 100, and their were 5 straight bottom 90 MPH guns like them, The Donz (Frank) owns one and i think his is hi 90's with the potential to go over 100.

I thought the spider painted staggered boat ran in the teens? Owned by the guy who owned Offshore Performance in Graysonville, MD.

oh yea, 117, forgot about that one, Bill Procter spiderboat. I think craigs boat was over 100 with the 1200's in it too.

Not huge numbers but respectable. Just shy of triple digits.

Is that 99? What kind of power are you running?

Bill's spider boat ran 114 and I believe is the fastest known of the staggered boats.

My boat ran 112 with the 1240's in it and I've never heard of any other side-by-sides getting over 108 or so. Disclaimer: I had nothing to do with my boat getting to that number. The previous owner did all of the work and spent all of the time and $$$$$ to get it there. Sonny Leonard, JT @ TnT and Art Lilly did all of the work from what I've been told.

I ran the boat with that power for one season.... and then went to a "lower cost" alternative.

I know that D-MAN got his boat up to 107 or 108 and there have been others that have busted 100. There's is a chitload of power needed and even more setup work to hit that number. I think that 900HPs will get one into the mid-90s and 1100s or so HP is what it takes to bust 100.
