43 w/ trip 625's Speed?
So what is cruise and top end for a trip 625 43V? Do the 625's eat XR's??
I found a 43 but was not really considering trips so I need some advice from 43 owners who know about twins vs. trips, etc.
Thanks,
Dave

Great boat, runs strong and can handle any water conditions.

PM Offleaseonly on here, he is on his 2nd 43V w/ triples. I think the old boat ran about 90 on 625's and the new boat with tri 650's runs 100 when dialed in. I did a poker run on his boat last weekend and with the wrong lowers/props it still ran 92 with 6 aboard/ full fuel with 500 rpm's left on the tach.

Terry - do you have any contacts on who may be selling a 43V where I can do a trade? I found one that has trip 625's Nor-Tech motors that were just rebuilt but not sure who else may be listing it and if they can do a trade...

Your buddies, Bill R bought a Cig, and Macklin a A.T., we need to get you in a Nortech, those 43 eat up some big water. Good Luck Jeff

BillR and Macklin had the slower boats when we had all had the PQ's so I have to be sure that my next ride crushes them in speed and rough water departments.

Jeff - the battle is between the Nor-tech (43V) and the Outerlimits (42 Legacy) at the moment. I want a 99.9 mph boat without the headache of trips or super high maintenance HP if possible. Ideally I would like a set of engines that will go 225-250 hours minimum before work is required so that rules out the Merc 850/1075 among others...

I know the ford off lease boat is blowing the drives like white on rice! Nice boat though.
