98 42 Side By Side
 

Have Side By Side Set Up, How Much Faster If Any Will A Stagger Set Up Be? Will Be 800hp,w/bmaxes,and What Sppeds Can I Expected.

90-95mph

ive noticed some in the classifieds w/less power claiming same speeds 90ish 600-650range

I have always been told that the side by side boat will be about 5-6 mph slower than a full staggered 42. That being said my 42 full stagger is running 650's and right at 90mph......so a 42 side by side with 650's will be in the 84-85mph range.

Give you a call later on Johnny, in meetings this morning til about lunch then give you a call.

i have a side by side 98 big step with 500hps right at 80 and there isnt but a 1-2 mph difference from mine to a staggered and i would think with 800hp you will be approaching 100 if not into the low 100's, one great thing about the side by sides if its a classic deck you gain 18inch of cockpit space

100 Is What I Was Thinking.

-5mph for the Bmax's and your at 95....

i better turn up the boost then

Beak Boater told me Fountain had a brand new 42 with 700's and 6 drives at the Jammin on the James Poker Run and it ran right at a 100.

I think she'll go faster than 100 based on those numbers if its really 2 X 800HP. Unless the 6 Drives are that big of a penalty.

So a 1998 Classic would be the same top cap and of my 1993, but the bottom is newer with a step? Is the engine hatch smaller to make up the 18" on a side by side or the helm moved forward?

I've also noticed NADA shows the 1998 3" narrower and 8,800 comparted to my triple at 10,400. Hows will the ride difference compare at LOTO?
