Our 340 with trip 300Rs has seen 77.4mph so far. Love the power package. Incredible mid range torque - fully pushes you back in seats between 30 and 60mph. Great sound during acceleration and cruise and nearly silent at idle unless you flip the sport exhaust toggle when you get a really nice V8 rumble.

nice performance on the 300r. i ordered with 400s. then nortech said can't get them. said 300r. instead. then in rigging 400s came in. just got the boat beginning of april. 9 months late. lol. 400 are great also. not the power the 300r have. factory top end was 84.4. no seats 4 people limited fuel. i can get 81 had 6 people and little over half fuel plus all the junk. lol.

You agent may cut you a big discount if you move the boat away for hurricane season.
Also rates are going up in general because so many idiots hit the water in the last 2 years and were filing lots of claims.

Use to be if your CC went over 70mph the insurance rates went up regardless of location, just filed Hurricane Plan and waiting for a quote with boat coming down from LOTO to spend from Oct to April on the gulf side. My boat will be in a CAT 4 building a couple miles off the coast, I would assume if your on a lift closer to where landfall in a H-cane would be it would be much more...........................$6800 is a chunk of change for boat ins, insane !!!

All of my recent insurance inquiries were asking if the boat could go over 75mph.
