Wrapped up my season with a few hours of testing and got to wondering today, what's the fastest anyone has run in a 24x7?

I've heard rumors of an old 24 Superboat that went 102, but don't know if this is gps, nodrskog, or what.

Aggressor25 here on OSO had ~900-ish HP in his 23 Sunsation and got it up to 104 before it started prop walking 6 feet at a time in the direction of the prop rotation, during testing, and they called that 'good enough.'

He now has that same power in a 32 Single Sunsation.

My 25 agressor with 500 hp ran 85 ish
So 100 is possible without doubt, just not sure hp needed...

WHY??? Thats not a hull that was designed to go fast, It was made to hit bumps.They love lumpy water., they do good in lumpy water, they are fun in lumpy water, they will put a smile on your face in lumpy water. If you try and cram a zillion horsepower in one to try and make it go fast, your the one thats liable to end up lumpy.

Dont be lumpy...

I broke thru the 92 barrier with this new lower finally. Yesterday 93 with a passenger and then 95 solo in some decent chop (was windy). Today 96 on dead flat water. It's plenty manageable too, so I'm sure there is more potential there.

What's the bottom on that sunsation like? Padded?

WHY? Cause it's a fun hull to run fast!!!

Or I should say on the right water it's a fun hull to run fast. On rough water it's just a fun hull, save the fast...

George Desmond's 18' Donzi ran in the teens I believe.

I'd like to see the boat. What power. What prop. Mine is done at 80. The hull gets loose. Way loose

454 with M3 set to 5psi. Guessing 675ish?
Hull is a 96 Superboat race layup, but has full interior and deluxe cabin, stereo etc.
Running an old 29 solid hub mirage on a bravo with a lower that has a hydromotive cone. Tried a -2 sportmaster, but it only worked with bravos and this hull doesn't care for those props (at least stock bravos)

I was the passenger on the 93mph run and I have to say that the boat was surprisingly stable at those speeds. It was stable enough that I was able to take cell phone video of the speedo (which I will load to YouTube later when I connect to wifi so I can get it in HD). Damn things pulls like a freight train too!!! I'd say without a doubt one of the most fun boats I have ever ridden in. The speed sensation in a boat that's only 7 feet wide is a riot!!
