Boy, isn't that the truth. lol

The boat will run well over 100 MPH with 800 HP and that will depend on what engines and drives and how the boat is set up.
There is a 38 for sale on the Mares web site it is also on Yacht World
I can’t seem to post pictures on here any more.

This MARES 38 POWERCAT 38 was posted 05-Sep-2012 .

If the guy couldn't sell it in a year..........

In comparison what speed would a 36 Nortech run with a pair of 500EFIs on Bravos?

At least 100MPH,mine did 115 with 525s Bravo boat.

So that makes the Mares 15-20% slower than the likes of a Nortech ect. is this purly down to the weight of the Mares?

If you want speed buy a Nor Tech They are a good boat. Mares has a huge cabin, walk around deck ,cockpit, Sun Pad and swim platform and runs great in rough water .It is comfortable and user friendly . It just depends on how you use your boat .

Thanks Larry I am very happy with the Mares, I was try trying to establish what the differences are between the two hull designs that effect the speed with similar power.
At some point I will be looking for a cruise speed of around 80-90 and was wondering what I need to do to achieve this.

Will changing the drive height and a tunnel tab do anything to increase the boats speed?
