Any report's on top speed yet ??

I agree on the power, that is a lot of boat for 600 HP. But many of those cruisers average twin 300 hp IO's, which are 600 pounds heavier than the twin OB's. I'd GUESS the max speed for this new OB is around 40 mph or so?

Searay said in the article

Obviously trips would cause a major design problem for the stern doorway opening.
It does allow for a full-beam aft stateroom, which should be cavernous on most boats.

You get the sleek looks and profile of an express design, without the high beltline of cruisers with aft cabins.

I'm not a big fan of Searay cabin layouts in the under 40' range. But this one is extremely nice.

I personally love the way the cabin looks like a studio apartment, separate master with a kitchen.

I think what Searay has done here is HUGE.

Agree on all of that. There's a lot of innovation there, and the interior room on that boat should be huge compared to others in it's class. If a top speed of 40 is indeed correct than I'd take back what I said earlier, but I'm skeptical. I mean with people and fuel, and junk she should weight in at somewhere close to 18,000 pounds. That's heavy!

I saw a SR 370 tested, weighing in at 19,000 pounds. With twin 38 Sundancer HP stern drives, it went about 35. So I did a WAG at 40.

I'll take a 30 foot version with a smile. It's a boat you can actually leave in the water without major headaches.

This is one of the better ways of thinking in current boating. Pursuit is coming out with a similar model too.

Obama should buy me one. If he does, I'll vote for him

It's only fair that I should have one.

You beat me to it. It would run 50+ with 7s.

Sea Ray didn't build that. Thus, everyone should get one.

I doubt 7's would be worth it. A set of 350 Yammies might give it a little more oomph.

Hey, how is the Active Thunder outboard coming along?

After a some what long time period between true innovation in the boating world (lots of low level innovation and me too stuff), this is very enlightening.

If you guys follow them on Twitter or FB, they have been pounding the pavement getting the word out on this too.
