No HP fairy, just further testing. The plug went 91mph with a 525hp efi engine, stock. The production tooling is of course nicer than the plug so when it gets tested, most of us can reasonably estimate the 525hp efi speed to be the same or better as the plug. There are plenty of these boats sold so most will see other numbers with other engine combos over the next year.

You are a thorough dude, and I do agree with you with completely (and many of your posts on OSO throughout years)

I've had tons of interest in my boat for sale. Its priced just right. Your baja friends might not think its priced right........The guys driving cigarettes and skaters think its priced more than fair.
Physics? Do you know what torque steer is? Thats the problem with all big single engine boats..........torque steer. In general, most of the 28ft+ boats with single 500+hp are also plagued with out drive problems on a regular basis.........especially in rough water use......... which may be why OL and merc are rumored to not be getting along. Don't believe me go look at all the big powerd sabers, panteras, activators, etc. Their always fighting drive problems.......which makes for an unreliable boat IMO. I may be entirely wrong seeing that it doesn't appear to be a 29ft boat at all. I'm just throwing out words of caution. This boat could certainly be lightened enough to eliminate drive concerns and maximize speed by going to a bare bones cabin and super light layup, but really, at that point your much better off going with a 28 skater or the like.
I don't have any problem with ya'll drinking the koolaid but I'm not going to be forcefed the utter BS coming out of the three plus threads on this boat just cause it has an OL on the side. I mean chit guys, you act like you never seen a bustle on the stern of a boat before..........OL puts one on a 28 to call it a 29 and you guys run around pretending its a revolutionary design. This boat isn't any more or less revolutionary than the deck design of the failed adrenaline 30 or the steps of the new 38 HyperSonic. Did I hear 90mph with the 525? If so this boat doesn't even match up to a superboat Y2K IMO, the superboat is two feet longer, has a useable cabin, and will run close to the same speeds with a 525, while costing the buyer almost half as much. The 29 warlock will run 100mph with 525 and cost half as much. So whats left? The shiny bezels and chrome? The paint job and colors that makes the entire boat useless in warm climates? Not for $100K over the competition.........

hahaha rotflmao, how true and most of them will vote for obama again.
oops. can't wait to stop by and see it. and if a SUTPHEN legend said it road nice, in 2 to 3s. you could talk to each other at wfo. sounds like a great boat. black bilges is caused by CF. my fav color is red but, I like the orange. nice job Mike.

The post that Smarty was replying to implied the OL was running 100+ w/ the 525. I know I read it(and its gone now).
I didn't reply becuase too many are posting w/o knowing the facts.
BTW, the 29extreme ran 82-83 w/ a 496HO. So none of these speeds are THAT out of line.

Artie, maybe a bit narrower at 7th beam, but both boats would serve the same purpose... A 5 man sit-down low profile single purpose boat.
Cabin. Are you kidding? It's for holding your gear.
Guy who just spent 200k on this boat, is sleeping in a hotel.
How many guys sleep in thir MTIs and Skaters.

Sleeping on the boat is not just a matter of not being able to afford a hotel room. Modern marinas like the ones at Cedar Point and PIB have first class facilities for boaters including air conditioned showers, stores, restaurants and best of all you get to spend the night with other boaters and enjoy your boat and the rocking and sound of the water. I will sleep on my boat over a hotel room and I don't even have a real cabin!!
