single engine 28 Daytona ???'s
 

Well I sold my 33 and have been in the market for a smaller single engine cat..I was wonder what you guys thought about the single engine 28's..I have been looking at one with a 620hp 540 and it has a twin stepped hull..Just would like to know what kinda speeds to expect vs HP and how they handle?

lots of weight for a single drive. If your gonna go single Id stick with the 27 daytona. Even the older low profile 28's are alot of weight on a single drive. Congrats on your sale. Its a tough market for cats. I sold my 30 recently and now Im starting the search for its replacement. but Im going the opposite way. looking for a 36.

Yea,i agree..weight would definatly be something to consider for drive reliability.. But just from my experience drive life has a lot to do with the person behind the sticks..I'm thinking if the hp is accurate (620) that it should run mid 80"s..am I way off??

28 no no no buddy. 27' and rollllll :) :)

Take a look at this 27' Speedster. This is the boat to own right now if your wanting a single.

Man for sure so so sick!!!!

thats most definatly bad a$$....but way way out of my league..

I agree w/ the other guys. 28s too big/heavy for one engine...

The 27 would be a better option for you, if you want a single.

So what kind of weight would you guys say I'm looking at?I see a lot of single engine 27-29 foot Vee's out there..I would think a Eliminator Daytona would be lighter and easier on drives then say a single 27 fountain with the same power?

Size wise
 

Just my saying a 27 fountain is really a 23 to 24 foot. Because its has the extra foot nose on the front and a build in swim platform on...... If its helps I have a true 28 foot checkmate with 700hp on a bravo drive with 80 hours on it with no issue so far!!

Good luck

Check to classifieds here. One mean looking 28' with twin 710 ilmors........ Man oh man if I had the $$ right now.

@WR-1, a 28 Daytona would be great boat to have, plenty of room, and excellent styling all in one, with just the right beam, we can also offer it as a single anywhere from a 525 all the way through massive power exceedin over 1000HP, for a package such as a 620HP, and with the over all length of the boat, it would carry the hull with outstanding performance, and with speeds about 85-90, is definately satisfying. However because most of the 28's we build are twin, you could go with something that will add more stability to the boat and carry with with very smooth for a comfort ride, power you can easily go with a pair of either twin Mercury 525's or the 700SCI's which will brings speeds up to about 120-135mph
