what will run 100mph in 2's and be easy on fuel?
Will a 24 skater do that without beating you to death?
Will a 21 superboat with a 300 run 100? Looking for something 100mph fast, single eggbeater, that will ride out nice for the skanks, and be easy on fuel. Thx for your advice in advance...rm |
Had to re-read your post... If I remember correctly a retired race 24 Skater ran just a tick over 100 with the early twin opti's./ tall props (I want to say 225's ??? but not 100% as it's been a while) and it rode nice in 2's... Big single on a 24 - no idea... one on scream and fly and I believe there was one out in Vegas for sale a year plus ago set up in drag form...
You are still going to have to pour fuel through a big OB running top end more often than not to hit the numbers so "easy on fuel" is relative to what??? |
Don't think keeping a 24 Skater going 100+ will be cheap. Not sure if you will like doing it in 2 footers either. Sounds more like your looking for a 28' Skater, Not cheap either

Ya...24' in 2'ers will not be a nice ride.
|
A 28 Skater with 300sx's will be the best ride with reasonable fuel burn.

I havent been around many cats. So dont know how big a cat i would need to run in 2s...
What kind of number would a 21 superboat run with a 300. Im not going to run it wfo all the time, but if top end is around100 i can cruise mid 80s is my plan. Cant be much bigger than 21 ft as it has to have a single ob for power. I want a small boat as i plan to put a pair of 6" pilings into the water on an angle and stake them in to position so i can use the trailer without tires to pull the boat out of the water using a winch. So smaller is better. In the early am its like glass here with 6" ripples, but the waves pick up as the day goes on. i figured a cat would be the most fuel efficient ride... Thx for the info |
Im looking for a fast ride for running errands etc, needs to be able to carry 4 people and groceries... a lot of groceries lol

whats out there for small Vs that will run near 100 in 2s? Thx rm |
You are asking for a lot from a small "V", single engine boat. 4 people, and a lot of weight (groceries) and cruise at 80MPH! It will be interesting to see what others come up with. Where do you live?
