Someone please tell him his boat is "crazy competitive" and he's awesome and no cat could ever run with him nor any professional drivers ever compete with him so he'll shut the %@#! up! Geez. That said, I'd run you any day!

what i find more often than not is a lot of the self proclaimed expert, lifelong boat driving top speed producing guys really cant drive a boat very well. there's a lot of big numbers out there, only saw it once, light on fuel, no one else to verify, blah blah blah. that boat generally runs 10 mph slower lol, but seriously. i will tell you that i am generally at the front of my group and by far, not even close to being the fastest in my class. you will only know if you are "competitive" if you know the guy next to you is shooting for the same thing (race on). the only cat that i know of that you will smoke the doors off of is a 39 usa cat, all others are probably gonna getcha

[QUOTE=Omni Present;4230808]Reggie Fountain had the last V bottom cat killer I've ever heard of and that was a SuperBoat. Does anyone have a 25' to 30' V bottom outboard or IO twin or single that can take down cats of the same size consistently?
I've never seen a 25 to 30 foot V run in the 150 mph range and that's what it would take to be a 25 to 30 foot Cat Killer.

I think the 29 outerlimits/eliminator is about the fastest 25'-30' v hull out there. The Nordics are fast but the outerlimits with a single gets it done with the multi step config. I don't think you will see many run over 150 in a 30' and under v hull. That is serious hp to get that in a single and anyone with that money will prob go out and spend it on a bigger twin.

My 30 Spectre ran 97 with my old 260's. I never tried to get a top speed with the 250XSs, but Mercury claimed they hit 101 with them. With 300s, the 30 will run over 100 all day. You can claim to run with cats with the same power, but cat people know they were just taking a scenic cruise.

Many of the boats you're comparing your P27 to in this thread are much bigger boats. If you want to compare it to a cat, compare it to a 28 Skater since it's more similar in length. The Skater (although still slightly bigger) will be at least 15% faster with similar power and it also run circles around you in the rough as well.
With that said, nice boat and respectable numbers.
