Still not sold, sounds like 1000 chainsaws and you cant go over 20 if your water has over a foot of chop so useless where I live. Need some size. Cool for what it is tho.

i have a pair of rude 300s on a 32 manta cc, it will run in big water, manta boats kicked butt in their class, they won 6 championship in 11 years... same hull just with a cc layout, plus if one pukes you unbolt the power head or lower unit and fix it, beats the heck out of trying to be a contortionist in your bilge....rm

btw i think merc is working on 450hp or more, verado hi po engines that will be out soon

Yeah if you're comparing to your 22' Donzi....., I'll play ; )

My motors are naturally aspirated and making approx. 1.5 HP's per cu. in.

How's your 502 doing?? BTW, that equates to 750 HP's for your motor.
Again, naturally aspirated.

And mine runs pretty fair at speeds over 20, in chop over a foot too :whistle:

thanks.

It is sacrificing itself to fund construction of a pole barn/shop at our new place.

After last night, I think that ball can crush eight-footers at 16 mph ;)

Good mileage too.....
