Yes, bought it from Shogren. I'll post some test drive results after the weekend.

My 2003 382 w 525's and Stellings boxes ran fastest at high trim levels. Like three or four past neutral.

700s good for you, interested to see pics also, congrats on the boat.

Tips, get out there and rip it up.

97...All these 700 boats are running the same prop. I think I could break 100 with a new herring setup. My limiters start screaming at 96. But is it worth another $8K to make 100?

Thanks for any advice.



I would love a ride on your 382. After driving a 525 setup I got the feeling that the boat was underpowered but I would like to ride the 700's to compare. I'm told that the size difference is more of what I was feeling than the power since my boats are 242's.

Can I meet up on a weekend to get a feel of 700's? I don't know anyone closer to me with them.

I live in the Nashville area. Headed to Lake Cumberland this coming weekend. If you are nearby sometime, just send me a message and we can go for a ride.

I rode in the factory Formula Poker Run boat, with 6 of us, it ran 90 mph, but Vic said, with 2 people, it would run 94-96.

I rode in the same Poker Run Formula on the St Clair River, went 98.6mph with the river current and four people on board.

I need to ride the 700's to determine which way I go on a purchase. I love the Fastech's all around but I also like the 400SS. Tough call since I can only buy one.
