In two years................ ( top gun for sale, needs transom and stringers ) but all the hard work is done.................... Thats a major undertaking, good luck if you decide to cut it up

I am not convinced, that staggered, is faster, or better

ZP given all the advancements in drive and prop technology you are probably right .

Here is a Devils Advocate Question. What will you gain by going Staggered? Let's say you do all the work yourself. Its still going to cost some good coin to make it happen. If you are looking to get some speed out of the boat, throw some money at the Power, Drivetrain and Props first. You can bolt on and tune some superchargers way cheaper then making the boat staggered. Hard one to justify. I don't know what the speed gains would be by going staggered, all depends on setup, but I do know that adding 5-10 lbs of boost will certainly increase the speed. LOL. Good luck on either direction. I love to watch a good build thread, I also like looking at pictures of boats on the water and enjoying them.

Im curious to see how this boat turns out......its going to be a painful 110 page thread that will end in 2018....I agree with the group, buy the 90 MPH boat. If you own yours that means you have a good chunk of the purchase covered when you sell it!!!! Just my worthless .02

Well if you decide to do it don't forget to take a ton of pics and start a build thread for our enjoyment

It is probably more of a balance issue. A staggered boat with no cabin works but with a cabin, I think it might have too much nose weight. Just a guess. ZP would know he works and plays with both.
