If I ever go back to a single engine I/O setup, it would be in some sort of cat.

Get a 28 Pantera. Rougher the better.

28 Evo is a rocket with 1100 -1300HP watch (orientation is wrong but its still fun to watch)


Here's one with a GT1100 running a nortech cat in Germany at a poker run. -
This boat is the reason there are 5 Lavey 28 Evos in that area.
This guy hunted down and killed nearly everything he ran against.

I'll bet he wasn't expecting it to go down like this.

Id be real careful about putting 1100 HP into something that may or may not actually handle 1100HP.

How fast is that Lavey?

120 with a GT1100 and an SCX.

Here it was back in the shop.

Just like Uncle Dave said. 28 EVO stats that are over in Germany - GT1100 120+ MPH with a best of 127 MPH w/ Imco SCX, Merc 662sci 95 MPH with full tank of fuel (100 gallons) and 102 MPH with light load w/ Imco SCX, TPI 900HP full tank of fuel and 4 people 105 MPH and best of 110 MPH w/ Imco SCX, Ilmor 710 101 MPH w/ Imco SCX.

The orange one in the video and pictures originally had an Ilmor 710 and Imco SC that ran a best of 106 MPH then got swapped to the GT1100 and SCX.

Show him the 29 Laveycraft 2018 model.

I would agree with 32 ft and down --- a V hull most likely is going to be better in constant rough waters
