Really like the 46's. freedom Us1 has got to be one of the nicest. What speeds are they running and with what power. Also really like category 5 and declawed....

I am a new 40 Skater owner (we spoke about a trade). Mine is a 2002 with a regrig in 2010. 17 hours since 2010. Sterling 1150/1350s. Currently set up for 1150 on 110 octane. Numbers pending (but will do 130 easy). I just got the boat labor day and it has only run 1 time before putting it away.

I rode in a 46 Skater with Sterling 1550s that runs just under 130 on 93 octane.

100 feels comfortable. I don't like 120+ but maybe I'm just a sissy. We hit 127 the day I was in it and I have no desire to go faster. The best thing is cruising at 100 and feeling like you are going 60.

What does category 5 and declawed mean? Just trying to catch up with all the lingo.

The 46's will run in the 140's with 1200 hp a side,mthe 40's will be in the 150's with the same power, freedom runs around 1250hp a side

I have a 2005 46' for sale and it runs 150+mph with stock Mercury 1075's. I have a 2004 46' with 1450hp Sterlings and runs 171mph. A new 46' with Sterling 1500's runs low 170's so far.

Blume,

Then how fast would mine run with Merc 700s?

There is a 99 out there somewhere called "Ruthless" that was for sale for a long time,don't know if it sold or not. Run the great lakes.

Really?

Last I seen it was in Grand Haven MI. Sweet looking boat!

Newer ones are out of my price range, that's why I'm asking about the older boats...
