How fast would a 42 run with 600SCI's and Sporties?? It run over 90?

Thanks

It would be all over 90 but not much more for every day boating. my 42 with ron potter 600's ran just over 90 with me and very light on fuel......solid 85-86 on a regular day of boating.my 42 was a 99 with standard xr's.

This boat is a Lightning not an Ex and is a 2007. Did you have any drive problems on your Ex? How many hours did you run it?

Hmm, maybe 1 or 2 less for the lightning??? I put about 100 hrs on that particular boat. Never had any drive problems and ran it hard in the ocean. All in the sticks

I think the LT is a tad heavier than the X. The hull is identical but the deck is diff

Ok I knew the bottoms were the same just never thought about there being enough weight diff in the decks to make a diff.
