I wonder how much lighter and what the tweaking of the bottom on the svl 29 is worth....assume they have a 590hp 525 merc motor and it touchs a 100mph.

Peters boat will be well over a hundred mph boat and close if not over 110mph. The Merc 600SCI boat ran 101 in stock form. The bottom on his boat is identical to the SVL race boat as are all the SV29's. Peter or myself will post sea trial results once we run the boat.

Maybe there are different versions?

Cheeers, Toffen

with a 525

Its possible this is a water speedo and not 100% accurate, but it could be a GPS speedo, also it seems that there is room to improve as there are more RPM's to go before the 525 maxes out.

Looks like a nice place but very far from Miami. Did you check out Grove Harbor?

Hi!

Thanks. Do you know what kind of prop and pitch they use.

The Ilmor SV 29 looks stunning

If I had to wait until mid Feb for such a nice boat, and if it was mine, I would have gone mental

Cheers Toffen
