Re: who owns the fastest PQ
 
It would surprise me if it is a rocker. But if you put a straight edge on it and can see light between the ends, it is a hook, If the straight edge can "rock" back and forth with the ends not touching the bottom, it is a rocker. At least that is what I've been told by folks.

You may also want to see if you have the same hook or rocker across the whole bottom. Some boats only place a hook between the chine and the outside strake to help get on plane. From the outside strake to the keel it may be perfectly flat. So when you are running hard the hook doesn't really come into play.

You are right Mentalpause, It is only between the first strake and the chine on the outside. I really don't think the "tug" gets them all the way out of the water, But maybe? Have you ever heard that a 290 will only run about 75, after that they get too loose.?

I've been around PQs for years but only owned a 27. Can't comment on exactly how the 29 reacts at speed. But my guess is if it is getting real loose, the hook is probably not coming into play. My 27 had a tendency to bow lift and I always needed some tab. That would tell me the hook wasn't effecting it at speed.

We have a 30 Powerquest on our lake that runs 93 mph on GPS.He has twin 525 sc motors in it.The boat runs real strong from the holeshot to top end.

That is fast........in flat to 1 ft.........anything after that I would think it would be real crazy. Let's see a picture of it.

And what is WE...?? You own more than one boat?

The red version of my boat I believe has 525's in it. 93 mph is impressive. I agree w/ the others, you need to get him on OSO.

2003 30' REVENGE Repowered this year from Millennyum marine in Michigan. Lenny's the man! Twin 525sc,offshore engine mounts,Imco steering to helm,bravo 1's w/upgraded prop shafts,1.65 gear ratio,32 pitch 4 blade bravos. Actually only running 90 on gps so far. Still haven't got the full potential out of it yet. Going to lab finish the props this year and may end up changing the gear ratio to prop down. The boat handles excellent. I am not afraid running in 3' waves at 90. No complaints,I love the boat. I have a few picks of us and some of the boys up here. Check them out. :D
