I am reading trailer boats mag Boat Show All stars.Sleek Craft claims thier 34 heritage will go 100mph with stock 496 HO's is this even possible? (has to be typo)

Sure I know my truck will tow it that fast.

Bob, you need to start from scratch and make a new thread that reads kinda like this.

I do/ do not want blower moters/ NA/injected etc....
I do/ do not care if it has a windshield.. etc



Put as much info as you can and I guarantee you this crowd will help steer you in a good direction, I've been keeping up with your posts and you are doing alot of spinning of your wheels it seems. Focus your wants and desires and put em in a post, then sit back and wait for the qualified opinions to start piling in, along with som good BS from the peanut gallery.
Also, what level of boater are you, how many boats have you owned?

and in answer to your question a resounding NO. You need at least 800 a side to make that hull get in the high 90's

The only boat I know of that can do 100mph w/ 496ho is the eliminator 28 or 30 cat, and I still haven't personally seen it.

I think that 100 MPH is the OTT* speed





* On The Trailer.... behind the truck...

several cats can do it, but i don't know of any vee anywhere close to doing that...

There is a test of that boat in the newest Hot Boat mag. They loved it but said top speed was 75mph. It has an Arronow hull , 24 degree hull and 8'2" beam.

It's also the same hull used for the Magic 34' Sorcerer.

I know a 32' Skater will run over 105 with stock 496' HO's.
