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

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.

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?
