The motors don't have the rpm/gearing to even get to 150, no matter what boat they were on. With a 1.60 gear and 6,450rpm rev limiter, they'd have to spin 40" pitch props to the rev limiter with basically 0% slip to attain 150mph - which isn't possible. The fastest of the fast of the 450R boats I've heard of are right around the 140 mark with 1 person, no fuel, on a cold morning, etc., etc., etc..

This is a nice looking setup, glad to see they finally put a windshield on one that you can read the water conditions through - every SC37 I've seen built so far has had a windshield so darkly tinted that it would be impossible to clearly through. I made the mistake of installing a windshield that was too dark on one of my boats - never again!

The 37 Outerlimits runs 132+ and is a lot bigger boat overall than a 36 Victory, 38 Doug Wright, or MTI. It would be like comparing a 40 Skater to a 40 MTI, they’re not even in the same realm size wise…
