which is faster? 40 or 46 Skater
 
Everything being equal, engines, drives, props, set up, etc which hull will be faster?

46 top end and 40 excl.

Beeing because the 46 is haevyer needs more to get TOP END and also 46 has longer tunnel more air less drag at WOT ,,,faster.

I would Quess ????!!!!!!

But i am not a cat guy ,,so don't know for shure.:eek:

My guess is the 40 is faster all around.

If Freedom went 147 with 1250's, my 40 is faster with less hp.

But you should know this....:grinser010:

flat deck, what power, props, gears, speed are you getting, what will a 40 run with 1250's just curious, I heard predator ran 174, but never got the true hp on it.thanks

what's the weight difference between the 2 ?

silverskater40 01-07-2009 03:29 PM

don't know what a 46 weighs, but my 40 weighs right at 9,000 lbs, not sure what mine will run yet, never went for a top end number, just to many boats and not enough straight water
