Nice boat! I heard the guy that previously owned it took excellent care of it....

Looks sweet!! Congrats!!

Very nice. Congrats!

Yes, he did. Everyone thinks its new. He'll be glad to know its in good hands and is being well cared for.

Amazing boat and congratulations.

I apologize for this question but while looking at your setup questions were running through my head.....
How much closer do the drives get when comparing the standard side by side twin, semi-staggered and full staggered setups? Better balance and CG must improve with bringing drives closer. Prop shaft to water surface has to be very similar in all three setups due to stringer heights. What are the performance affects of moving the drives closer with relation to the deeper part of the V? (What are the affects of prop shaft to bottom of hull ratio here.)

Thanks

Thanks!! Its a great boat in every aspect. In my case, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I would experience much difference from a performance standpoint. I'm going to be running this boat mainly in the 50-70 mph range. From my experience so far, it's a smooth ride and on the out-of-water situations, the boat comes down nice and tight, so that could be the lower CG. For me, the biggest benefit of the staggered motors is the accessibility. A lot easier to get to stuff than if they were side by side and I think that's worth a LOT!! The one thing I have noticed with the drives being closer together is with respect to docking; need a little more throttle on reverse to spin the boat than I've needed on my previous boat but not an issue at all.

Just curious, what props does it have. Mine has BBlades 15 1/2 X 28 and it takes a little finess to get it on plane, a lot of prop slip getting on plane, (don't know if the sportmaster lowers play a part in this) tops out 88-89 on gps, would love to see 90

Nice - whatca gonna name it??

15 1/4 x 32 P Bravo I's on Bravo XR drives. Mine gets out of the hole pretty quick. Don't know top end yet; still getting used to the boat and being a little conservative. Plus I was seeing low water pressure and I replaced my pumps this week and pressure is much better now. On the sea trial, we hit 83 with three guys on board and full fuel tanks. I have to believe with lighter fuel load and proper trim, I can get upper 80's.
