Man, I love you guys.
Boat is built in Missouri and the owner lives in Tennessee. Both places are basically like the Arctic right now.
But you want someone to zip-tie the BRAND NEW motors and run it up to the edge so you can READ what the top speed was for a boat you most likely won't, or can't, buy.
The owner knows that a very similar boat has run into the 130's. It's highly unlikely he cares if it's 132 or 134 but would very likely prefer that it last for seasons of fun regardless.

I think his point his this is not the first 34 with 450's there is samples out there so the answer isn't new to anyone so it really is a pretty pointless question at this point as the purpose of the boat isn't to be a shootout king.
It prob runs what all the other 34's with 450 does or within 2-3 MPH

Unless I hit the lotto.
Just amazed at how light and fast these cats are getting for the size. That to me is cool engineering.

I thought it was a very valid question considering how many 340s are out there. With the recent article on the unicorn skater and the popularity of these boats top speed is always a valid question. And as far as the weather here in Missouri when these boats are finished they taken up north of here to table rock lake and shaken down and yes they know the top speed. A 340 in fact was just run 2 Monday’s ago.

It was a fair question, these boats (all in this genre) are made to go fast, everything else they do sh!tty. I'm sure fishing forums will have specific questions regarding that type of boat, cruisers the same. Heck, if people could only ask questions about boats they can afford or are going to purchase there'd be like 40 people on this forum.
