At some point, I would imagine that the lowers and props, at least what's currently available, does not support a 150+ 40' boat. Are the 400R's pulling water from a thru hull or in the lower? Are there gear sets and props available for them to run faster than 130?
The 400R have been getting some broken shaft's from what I see on the other sites , mostly high X causing this from what I read

Reggie made a whole career of selling boats based on the top speed the day it left the factory with 8 gallons of fuel, down stream, wind at your back!

Bill (Freeman) builds some awesome boats. I fish on one 8-10 times a year. I've fished the 33, 37, and the 40. Thoroughbred fishing machines.

There is a 46 skater in the BVI, with quad 400 R, that’s running close to 100
