Yes But it was blowing 25 knots and I had my wife and son with me so no speed runs I am trying to go out again this weekend to get some numbers. posted the boat for sale in the classifieds with a few more pictures of the interior.

I finally figured out pictures on here LOL Here are the latest pics.[ATTACH=CONFIG]530254[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530255[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530256[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530257[/ATTACH]

Thanks for posting pics. Boat looks great. What kind of speeds you guys been seeing with it so far?

It ran 75 with a 24p Bravo 1 at 5300 RPMs

What power was in it again?

What power are you actually running in the 32?

The 26 is running a 502 carb motor that we built to match a 500HP The 32 runs a pair of custom built 509s with merc 525 injection and stelling short tube headers the 26 runs gill manfolds we figure they make just over 550HP don't know for sure we miss our dyno date. And had to just install them to make Lotto last summer.

Here's the engine [ATTACH=CONFIG]530287[/ATTACH]

Wow, it came out great! Did you consider putting a couple of small steps in the bottom?

Just out of curiosity what would be your ballpark figure for a blank hull. Say someone wanted to build one to race class 5-6

IMHO, putting steps in the unique hull design of the LS 26 would be a step backwards.

Plus it already has a "step" on the keel that transitions into a "straked pad". If you have never laid under a LS 26 hull and looked at it closely you should if you ever have a chance...someone (assuming Larry Smith) put some thought into it and it seems to still work well even today.

It was great to watch a 4 time World Champion Larry Smith 26 running strong (as always) just last Sunday at Clearwater... (photo by Pete B)



BTW, look closely and you can see the "step" on the keel

Cheers,
