Default Weight of 29 Fever w/ Twin Scorps - Is Performance Sheet wet or dry?

Does anyone know if the weight listed on the performance sheet from Fountain is the dry weight? Or is that the wet weight the day of the test?

I know a single big block 2004 29' weighs 5500 - 5850 dry. My boat has the twin 377 Scorpion motors. So subtract a little bit of weight for the small block, add some weight for the 2nd small block and outdrive and you're at?

Performance sheet lists the weight at 6660. Also says the boat was tested with 60 gallons of fuel. Can anyone confirm?

+trim pumps, controls, cables, gauges, rigging, transom assembly, (hydraulic steering? switchable exhaust? mufflers?)

You are probably 1000 lbs heavier than the single.

So 6660 is likely dry.

And yes, it runs pretty well. 84.5 was top speed with props spinning in and all conditions perfect.

Ours would run 84 on a really good day. High 70's every day.

Needs some transom work now and is for sale for a few more days until I decide to do the work and keep it: http://austin.craigslist.org/boa/4854088034.html

I'm not sure I know the answer to your question. Props are Bravo One 30P 4 blades from Mercury. X Dimension is 31 x 19.
