Yes I was referring to the boat for sale in classifieds think it's an 03. Is that a stepped hull? I was thinking drives must not last next question what does this boat weigh?

TS are good for approx 15% increase.

Need to compare apples to apples. A bravo 750 hp flat bottom runs probably close to 90 mph maybe more. As mentioned not nearly as reliable as an ssm boat but realistically its about a 10-14 mph difference between stepped and non step (104 vs 90)

Those are some of the faster straight bottom boats.

I agree that the 33 Power PLay is an awesome boat but to compare top speeds to a 38 Top Gun is apples and oranges. There is about 3k difference in weight. Comparing the Top Gun to the 38 Power Play would be more fair.

Eh I don't...our boat would do 80-82 at best with steps with current power. the 10-12 mph isnt a deal breaker for us. We are still going to be one of the slower boats out there.
