Did you like the article in Powerboat? Does the boat really weigh 16,000lbs? Low 70s is excellent performance from a heavy V bottom, and I know that weight smooths out the ocean swells, but why not build it to 12,000lbs and use suspension seats?

Yup the 36 DI does weight 16k and the performance on these boats is amazing. You have to ride it to understand. I have ridden them many times ( mostly with Carl) and every time i do i get more impressed. The built on these boats are impressive and elite

They have already done that test with quad Merc 350 it runs 83 mph at 6,000 rpms and thats with half a tank of fuel and with t-top which the one they have is heavy. If i'm not mistaken the fastest DI till date is 86 mph with those same motors
