How can it be 21 mph faster than my 97 35 with 525 blower motors.? This is great but how.

got to love it!!! did anyone notice that on the new 47's they are putting the twins in the front and the single in the back. I believe on aqua toy stores website there is a new 07 and it took me a sec but that is the configuration. Back to the 35....the cockpit must be small or something how in the heck did they get the room?

Full stagger on motors, rear seat moved forward to accomodate that, If you look at the pictures when it was water tested at the Dealers meeting, you can see it gives up interior room. Drives are 18 inches on center, less slip. Center of gravity moved forward. Herring propellers. Its not going to be a boat for everyone, just those were top speed is very important. Its easy to call their bluff, just find one and go water test it. Then post the numbers you saw. :D :D I bet you will be amazed. :evilb:
