A buddy has a 2000 34' Viper with 454's. 28' B1 props. I never thought of it having any trouble coming out of the hole. I think it is right at 70mph??????
It also has drive spacers. Would it come with those from PQ?

Very nice boat, but he's trying to sell it. His wife wants a cruiser. I think I'll have to beat her up.

The drive spacers would have helped tremendously as far as planing time,,,I have no idea if the factory sent any boats out with them.. As posted previously, the claimed they were working on the problem,,,so maybe they tried drive spacers to help,,,,who knows..

Had to be mags - even then it would have to be set up right.

You could turn yours easily - time to start looking for something new.

You and Scott could both get Cats.

That is one efficient hull if 454 mpi's are turning 28 inch props.

You had me second guessing the prop pitch. Just double checked, 28" B1's, not labbed.

Wally, you should buy this boat. Fits just what you need, and it will fit on your lift too.

Man, I would think long and hard about a 34 with only 454's. The PQ 34's are a much better boat with the HP500's. And they look really nice in the engine bay!!
