Another dream machine complete, https://speedonthewater.com/new-boat...n-hits-120-mph.

That is remarkable, to cruise in a 30' boat for 120 miles, just riding along, crossing wakes boats wakes and naturally made waves by the wind, just cruising along. Oh I forgot, at 105 mph without stressing the warrantied stock Mercury outboard power! And it runs 120 mph and will be faster in all likelihood with further prop testing. As Mr. garvin said, AWESOME!

And I like the the exterior and interior design selection of that boat too, a very nice looking boat. I hope the money tree I planted takes root, I want this boat!


PS - I went looking in the classifieds and Double R has these 400 hp Mercury o/b forsale, new at $27,325 that is a fantastic. FAST, AND AFFORDABLE (not affordable for me, but for someone who wants to invest in a reliable 120+mph boat, yes, affordable)

Any more pics of the interior?

Congratulations to Pete and all involved at Skater. Nice to see them working hard and making progress for Skater Nation.
Keep up the good work!

Not to be a party pooper, just a realist . What is the expected reliable longevity of that 400 horse outboard?

Congrats to Tyson for breaking the 120 mark.........and even more for getting Pete out in the boat with him! That was a bigger surprise than the boat running 120!

Nice job everybody! 120 and a user friendly boat that seats 6!

how much is that boat? Seems like the perfect setup.

If I had to guess...I bet 350 ish

If you wanted a six year warranty you could get the 350s. Verados have historically been reliable, but the sample size of the old 350sci would have been smaller, but theres no reason most 300s couldn't do 2000hrs on fishing boats with probably lots of idle and low speed time, as long as they were maintained.
