Nice write up in Powerboat this month! Boat looks awesome!

great speeds..110 with 700's..great competition for the 42 Fountain..39 Skater..38 Donzi..39 Dragon if still produced..great looking lines and the write up was excellent..can't ask for more.

Take a look at the acceleration specs page in the middle of powerboat , and the Lavey is even more impressive- It out accelerates (it actually spanks) the twice as expensive Outerlimits and nearly everything else.

The EVO was absolutely BALLISTIC!! It kicked everybody's butt from 0-10sec except the Eliminator and the MTI. From 0-20sec it was the third fastest boat in the test, beaten only by the gonzo-powered Eliminator and MTI cats.

It won against the three boats in its class in every category. The Fountain came close, but it had 1075s and was 1300lbs lighter. The Nor-Tech was downright sluggish in comparison, and Mike Fiore had to be crying in his champagne when he saw how bad his 2000lb lighter boat got beat. Reggie probly ripped the rug off his head and stomped on it. Every boat it beat was much more expensive except for the E-Ticket, Spectre and Ultra cats.

I called Jeff and he was positively giddy about the numbers. I've been reading these performance tests for ten years and I don't remember when I've seen such domination from a V bottom that big, with that little power. I don't think it's ever happened to be honest. Talk about your cat-killer, the EVO is the one!! And I think if it had 1075s it beats the Fountain in every category.

Just a great job dialing in the setup and getting hull dynamics right. Lavey has got a winner here for sure!! Oh did I not mention the awesomely beautiful paint job?

Even more impressive was the OL ran 39" props, which gave it almost 5mph more top speed, but it weighed 2500lbs LESS than the Evo and the Lavey still ran away from it up to 100mph.

I would like to know how Laveycraft accomplished that feat. Plus the time to plane of 5.3sec left every other V bottom in its propwash. This boat reminds me of the fast and quick Profile boats that Randy Schultz built back in the 90s.

Check out performanceboats.coms video test of it.

Couldn't find it, got a link? I've seen both youtube vids.
