The listing says Alpha One outdrives but they are Bravos (you can tell by looking at them...)

The props are 21's. With 1.5 drives, 5000 rpm (probably more like 4800, small blocks, remember) and 10% slip that would put it right at 60mph...

how do they ride
 

would you all say this model would ride pretty good in rough lake water? Im looking for something that would survive in a poker run without my wife hating me do to the hard hitting. The boat I have now feel like its gonna break apart.

First off its not a 30 its the 29. That boat used to belong to a guy that worked at the factory and he tried to sell it to me when I bought my 27. I talked to randy about it and he told me to stay away from it because it didn't work well with the small blocks(but knowing what I know now that could have been B.S) With that said I do know that the 29 hull worked real good in rough water as long as you kept it from falling apart. And I do meen falling apart.

I have a 1996 299 with gen+ 350's & bravo1's.Boat runs mid 70's with bravo1 4 blades. Great pokerrun boat in the Potomac River &Bay.Have had no real problems.

I saw a 29 being towed down the road toady. The first one I have seen in years. But then again I had to come to Independence Missouri to see it:rolleyes:

That is one hot looking boat. I'm sure that paint will hold it together.

Yeah, Flat water boats. oxymoron 24 degree dead rise and there all being used in the flat water parts of the country. Any one in the north east knows about those profiles.

It will ride great. They handle great in rough water. But find a Profile that's not going to break is the trick. If your looking for a poker run boat I would not buy a Profile. There are ones out there that are good, but you really need to know what to look for.

The 308 that I had did great on the poker runs that I took it on. It was originally a B class boat so it didn't have any cabin to add weight and make it smoother. If the transom hadn't turned to sawdust, I would still have it. This wan't Profile's fault, it was whoever put the speedo pickup in and didn't seal it...
