the sliver and red one

Congratulations .. ! Redmen has the same package he should be sniffing around here , Im sure he can help you with your desire to go faster .. ..All quattro guys are very helpful if you need info ..just ask .Welcome

I thought the 39 didnt like speed over 100mph?

need to check your prop slip and go from their.. I dont think 6 blades will do much.. what rmp and speed@ wot?

Congrats! Was that the one listed on-and-off on eBay for a while? Nice boat!

Wrong, they run just fine 100+.

I didn't think they would run over 100 with stock 600 SCi's? :coolcowboy:

Set up correctly, yes 100 with stock 600's.

How fast is the boat acutally?

I have been over 100 several times while testing the 39 / 600 package. 102 - 104.

Correct. 105+ mph with tweaked 600's.

Congrats and best of luck with the new Boat . 97 mph all day long with Merc Maximus and low 100's with Herrings. Should have no issues with the XR's with Stock ECU's. I personally wouldnt give up the reliabilty to gain a couple MPH with the Mods.Just my opinion, either way enjoy your new boat !

With the 5 blade maximus you won't run the boat over 100mph. You need to go with 6 blade herring - 34 pitch. They have a lot of slip while plaining but Herring cupped the ears on mine for better grip. I think with the stock setup you will run right at 100-102mph with the Herrings. Whipple upgrades 1 or 2 will bring the boat up over 105mph easy, the stock 600sci push very little boost and at WOT feels like there is nothing there. Congrats on the purhcase you will really like the boat.

I've got a set of 17x34 Merc 5 blades for sale are those a good prop for the 39?

Are they for #6s?

No, and 6 blades would eat up drives....they also manhandle the boat, if it does have bravos, be prepared to go through units, or be light on the sticks...Just my humble opinion...

Should've bought liquidator...better setup and rock solid hardware....if that boat was from florida, be prepared to replace those bladders. I've seen this boat...good luck with it either way....

liquidator is 11 years old..... looking for a newer boat not older...... im sure it does have a great set up bladders were already replaced thanks for the impute though.......

11 Years Old...and perfect condition. It's still a 42...and it's still a legacy, and it still has the best hardware you can put on it...

it is it it look brand new but we wanted something newer but for a 42 yours is a great deal

Is this yours?

Hi guys, i have a 05 39 quattro twin 525s boxes xrs.6 blade herrings.i love the way the boat runs,but am told i should be getting more top speed.I get 5100 rpm 92 to 93 on the gps all the time.The only time i get less would be heavy on fuel or people.is it true i should be getting 95,96 mph all the time.are my 6 blades to much???

You should be spinning about 5250-5300 for rpm. I have been told you have to give the 39's a little trim to get the higher numbers. You should be running 95+ no problem and light on fuel close to 98. Which 39 is yours?

I have the red tan orange,39 sold by ocean performance,with the full cabin.ASfor top speed being 95 to 98,i have trimmed the boat to 5and half on the indicaters and never saw those kind of speeds.I believe i have 34 inch 6 blades but with herrings theres no stamp on the wheels.When i purchased the boat,i also received a pair of mercury labed 5 blades.Inever put them on,what should i expect performance wise??Also should i send my 6 blades to herring,hoping they can get it just right.

The Herings would be the overall best prop for top end. It sounds like the props need to be tweaked a slight bit to get that final RPM. In my opion thats where the missing speed is especially with the 525's. I remember your boat when it was brand new at Ocean Performance. That is a great boat. If you remember at the Atlantic City poker run last year I topped off your drive reservoir and made sure you were good to go.

Hey JBADD, how is the OL, did you end up doing anything to it?

Hi dan yes i do remember you topping off the drive reservoir.thanks again.I couldnt make it to ac this year,heard the water was very rough.if i find the time this week iam gonna put the 5 blade mecs on,see what they can do.as for herring tweaking the 6 blades,been down that road many times they fix 1 problem give back 2.

its great boat run perfect did a little prop change to get us a stronger mid range not 1 drop of oil in the bilge

Personally I didnt make the run this year either. Outerlimits was represented well though! COme to the poker run in Old Saybrook, CT in a few weeks. It will be a great time and will be a good amount of Outerlimits attending. Jbadd, bring that 39 as well!!

July 23rd in CT. Bring the boat and put a for sale sign on it!! I'll keep you in mind.

Bring it to MD Thunder in the City same weekend. Lets just say a very good run;-)...
