Any Updates?
I am sure it has been run by now, and not just put in the water for a photo, and put back on the trailer. I hope we don't get the "owner does not care about top speed" props are set up for Family running with the kids. |
Weather has been tough up here this week, blowing 30+ in the mornings and raining most of the week

The last few weeks down here by the Gulf Coast was like that. The winds might have been a tad higher though. The Hurricanes are gone and the water level is back to normal. Temps in the 70's with lots of sunshine!!! Time to go boating again. |

The 400R is "horribly" heavy compared to the 300R. That is why I went with twin 300's on my 2750 LaveyCraft vs the 400's.
Mine is a 90mph boat, and performance is fine, but 100+ mph sure would have been GREAT!!!!! This Outer Limits SV29 should be close to 100mph, if not over by a few with 300's. Michael Found this article and thought about you. Looks like th OL should be just fine hitting 100 mph. |

Well that example is a cat so not really a fair comparison. If this OL can hit even 90 with the 300Rs then that would be pretty awesome and definitely in the thrill zone!

EXACTLY... I never seen where being the "Big Dog" (fastest) on a lake paid anymore than the next guy....140mph performance V still spends 95% of it's cruise time in 3K-4K rpm.
I think the new owner has a great boat. BUT from my perspective when you have a 90 MPH boat your cruise is maybe 60, if you have a 140 MPH boat then your cruise is maybe 100. So even though you aren't wide open all the time. You're now able to achieve a faster cruise if you want. |

Looks like the props are turning in, I wonder which ratio lower units, who’s version 5 blade and pitch, asking for a friend. 😀

I agree, very nice boat. And always someone out there with more so to speak.

I would think the 300s would balance nicely and unless you're a fanatic about WOT speeds, 300s will push this boat plenty fast. Look forward to the performance numbers.
Just my opinion. 👍 |
