I wouldn't think a 34 center console with three 250 mercs could do more then 75-80 , is this not correct ?

not sure, but the extra 10 feet will help, no matter how fast you decide the boat goes, a longer boat will run better in rough seas, and you did state that you could go anywhere a 34 could go...so math suggests a 24 in 6-8 footers will most likely be slower then a 34 in 6-8 footers, it will run anywhere but just get there a little after...

I have seen and been on 38 senter consoles with 3 motors to 90. I have been on 23 center consoles with 2 motors do well into the 80s...its all relative.
good luck

Be safe and use good judgement getting to 100 i am sure its possible.

Apparently you dont know occjoe it doesnt matter how big the seas are we only touch every third wave any way, i think the last storm we had he was getting more air then the jet skis, and you would never know you were out the water ( **** i think i was behind him on a wakeboard lol

you all are missing the point....i am not doubting that the boat will go over big seas and perform well. Just a boat that is 34 feet will do in more comfort. Get over your egos and use science. A boat that gets more air isnt the faster boat. A boat that is in the water i.e props moving the boat is faster then the airborne boat...crapin freaks why do i even try

Its a handful and the boat has 28 Kplanes. Except Scarabman put them on backwards!!
