lay up technology it should be pretty light. so if its 3750 and the tuff is 3300 and they run virtually the same speeds with the same power how is the tuff a faster hull?. (nevermind its is 4650) Has there ever been a Tuff I/O with anything other than a 525? which ran 95.5, There was talk of an Ilmore boat I didn't think it ever got built. Only the OL 29 plug had a 525, I heard it ran 94-95mph. I have no idea what that one weighed? I know it was not the same construction as the production boats. |
I have been via the internet trying to get Mr. Weigl to build an Infused Tuff 28 with a canopy and a 565 and go racing against the OL. In my humble opinion I think that it would be unbeatable... But it sure is hard to convince somebody with the green to build a boat that has not been raced before when OL has proven it's abilities... Maybe if I hit the numbers.. lol.

How do get that? OL said in an earlier test that boat was 4800lbs? maybe that was test weight with a 4-5 people aboard? Im not sure? but as said earlier with all of the geewiz

Actually the Snowy Mountain Brewery OL has a 525 and in race mode (a minimum of 4750 lbs at the end of the race) is certainly faster than 95.5

@glassdave;
Agree for classic Ve or step Ve bottom. But Tuff etc have pad kell and when they go really fast, they ride only on this pad. This is why I do not understand why it is 22 degree faster than 24 degree bottom if both have excelent designed pad kell. At 24 degree it is less chance that water will spray from pad on bottom and probably must go faster than "flatt" 22 degree bottom. O.k., stability etc, but this are other questions. Sorry for off topic from this excelent tread. |
