Looking for a 35 with 600's
 

Just wondering if anyone has seen a late model (07-08-09) 35 Lightning with 600's for sale? I am thinking maybe to upgrade from my 525's. Thanks.

600 Boat
 

I believe there are only three out there, 2 in MN and one in NY. It may be more cost effective to sell your 525's and buy a set of 600's.

The 35 with 600's isn't much faster than the 525's unless you do a stage 1 or stage 2 kit. Then the drives!!
There was one in classified in summer new cockpit and cabin nice peice

I think I saw that one too. Anyone have any idea whose boat that was or how to reach the owner?

I e mailed you the info

Joe

Thanks Joe.

Just thought I would update JMPH. I now own the boat, thanks again for the help.

You'd be better off going to a 38 or 42 with bigger power. I've run both and you're not going to get any bang for your buck.

Bill,

Do you mean not to bother to go from a 525 to a 600 or with a 600 go to a 38/42?

xcpilot,

Great looking boat. Will let you share the performance numbers to gauge if there is enough "bang for the buck":drink:

Not sure every inland lake or river boater would be better off in a 38 or 42 vs. a 35. Perhaps some late model owners could chime in why that would be.

There is one for sale in fl west coast silver with black windshield and rails I will look for the listing

That is probably the baddest azz 35 I have ever seen. They are asking top dollar for it though.

Would that be a 35 525 boat in the St pete, bay Pines area?

I concur. I am a lake-river boater (Lake Havasu AZ) and I don't need or want a bigger boat! This 35 is big enough for Pete's sake. My last single engine boat was a 25 and it was enough here, but I have always wanted a big fast Fountain.
As far as performance goes I am quite impressed with the 600's. My 525 35 Lightning boat would do 100 on its best day (I saw 100 once and 99 once). But these 600's are a different animal. Since the boost is controlled by a bleed valve (like the waste gate on a turbo), I expect them to run about the same all the time. The 525's would lose 5 mph in the heat of the desert in the summer leaving you with a 95 mph ride, but I think the 600's will still run strong in the heat. Anyway we saw 106-107 mph the first time out in 75F and I expect similar numbers in the summer heat. Also I am pulling the mufflers in favor of silent choice and I expect some gain here as well from what Kelly's experience was. If I see 107-108 with no mufflers vs 95-96 in the summer heat with 525's I would say that is a significant difference. Then if I still need more speed the Whipple mods will easily get me to 120+. Is that enough bang for my buck?

sure seems to be alot of bang for the buck... would you share some pics with us?

I don't think I can post photos. Maybe Kelly can put up a couple of the ones I sent him.

35' is the biggest seller for a reason unless you run the ocean go with your 1st choice!
