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?

It's Rat Man, living in Colombia.

....and I am looking for a mid 20's-30 year old blonde, 5'9"-5'11", size 2-4, DD's, low maintenance, faithful and preferably with a large trust fund.
Sorry, I just had to... |
Checkmate makes a 21/22 with a single that runs pretty stout.
|
A 21V super boat, challenger, progression, ect. set up right with a 300x single should run 85-90. If you spend the time and money on set up, you might do a little better. if you use a 300xs you will do better on fuel but loose a few mph.

Pretty sure a 21 Superboat will be in the low 90's
|
100 MPH, 2 footers, Cheap on fuel - Pick two of three????
|
I found something but its a little bigger than 21 feet but I guarantee you will never spend a dime on fuel.http://www.extravaganzi.com/wp-conte...owerboat-6.jpg

I was even thinking like a challenger or other small v, i dont know how they run in chop though, i do know super boats run hard in the ruff. But think a 300 would only put a 21 superboat in the 80s. I know it takes a bunch of hp to get a 24x7 into the 80s. I was eveen thinking a donzi 18 if i bought a project and reworked the rear to hold a big ob... I like the cats for fuel burn and speed to hp... how fast could a 24 skater be run in 2s? Thx guys |

To run a 24 Skater 100 mph. You will need. A helmet. A real good life vest. 2 engines. Big set of nuts and a whole lot of talent

I like the superboats been around a while never heard anyone badmouth them. What is the build quality on the challengers? I know they are fast, but dont know how they hold up to a beating. Isnt the progression a 22/24 V ? Im ok at 90mph not hell bent on a 100. I would think a small cat would have a big speed advantage over the v's, but not seeing that here from what you guys are telling me! Thx brahs for your input |
