42 w/ 700's and NXT Speed

How fast would a 42 Epoxy be with 700's and NXT's?

Hmmm...no answers, maybe they haven't built one yet?

Doesn't that package seems like it might be a winner though??

They have built a 46 with triple 700's that runs around 120. I think more people go to the 46 now instead of the 42. Have you really ever seen a 42 Outerlimits with only 1400 total horsepower?? There's hardly any out there. In my opinion that combo for an Outerlimits owner wouldn't push the boat fast enough, and Im talking 100mph not being fast.
Just my .02

I saw a new 42 with 700's at Sarasota and I think the owner said it ran around 105 MPH.

So if thats the case Im under the understanding that a 46 OL with twin 700's is running about the same speed. Does anyone know of one built. Thanks Jeff

A 42 not a 46. I dont think they have built a twin 700 46. I know they've built a triple 700 but not a twin.

Here is the one with twin 700's. Nice set up.

40icbm- that is not directed towards you or your post; just find it amusing that if it is not 1200+ a side it is junk these days...

I dont think Junk is the point, It's the market that OL is targeting and it seems to be working for them, People buying boats of this caliber can have what ever engine pkg they want and despite the fuel $ the bigger the better.

Have any 46's been built with 700's..or is Mike just not interested in doing that..Thanks Jeff

just triples ....as far as i know .....i have a nice 42 with twins

Ocean Performance has a nice one!

We have a customer with an 02 42 legacy with 500efi's and 6's.Ac heat and a gen set. The guy has finished every pokerrun, had zero issues and will get 400 hours befor a 7k a motor refresh. Merc is selling a ton of 700's to people who have been there and done that with 1000+ hp motors. Alot of people are getting rid of the carb big inch motors. Most of the cats now are going to 700's and running faster then the v's with 5 times the reliability of the big hp motors and not to mention 3 times the life span and whay easier to maintain. The 700's may not go as fast but we have all seen boats comming back on one motor and most of them aren't 700's. There is nothing worse then an 8 mph cruise for 30 miles watching everyone go by.

I remember that customer...the reason he ordered the boat that way was that he had a friend who was going to Pro-Charge the motors for him (hence the bullit proof drive set-up) but the boat ran so good and trouble free, he decided to keep the motors stock.

what does it run with 500efi? i guess 80+

depending on the atmospheric conditions, low 80's up north, in the cool dry air, and mid 70's in the south, hot and humid

A 42 With Twinn 700's Run's 104 To 105 I Have One In Stock A 08
