We had 13 people in a 38 Statement running 65+ in St. Pete a couple years back.

Awesome boat.

Going to be pretty damn tough or impossible to get one of these to 90+ mph. Maybe quad 350 Verado's but I doubt it....

out of curiosity what is the big difference, is it simply weight?
to a non expert like me I see the same hull with light outboards

I think that stands for any of the CC lux market boats. NT has got there I think with the 7 marine model and I am betting the OL will see that #.

I also think Statement could do it if they wanted too but not sure they care to stear to that direction, could be wrong though.

thanks for all of your input.50% of what I like about the boat that i have is the sound of it idling at the dock. A 2.5 Merc sounds pretty damn cool idling. But two of those things are not going to push a statement past 50 miles an hour. Once again thank you so much for your input
