We launched in Seaside and went North thru the Canal and out the Point Pleasant Inlet, Made a big U turn in the Ocean and head back. Nice 2 hours, water in bay was choppy as hell (very windy) but the boat was silk.

FF2 LG is about my favorite place on earth but Never been there in Summer. I always go up in the Winter and Sstay at the Riding High Ranch and Ski, snowmobile and all. Beautifull Place you have there. I'll come up in October for Sure !!!

The center motor runs in the tunnel, no protection and is subject to somwhat irratic water flow in rougher conditions.

That is Marks old boat in the pics. That boat never ran over 115 on our river.

The 32 with the trip 300x's that Shogren had. The last owner lived in VA and boated on our river. I am not saying its not capable, but it never did it as far as I know. I am pretty sure it ran 114.7 or something in the radar run 2 years ago on our river. I raced him at least 10 times and he ran almost an identical speed to my 28 w/300 promax's. I am sure he was carrying a ton of fuel but just saying....I never saw the boat run the numbers that were mentioned. The center motor did give him some troubles...and I think the center lower about 2 or 3 times.

They were 3b 34's on the outside and a 3b 32 on the center and the props were in good but NOT perfect shape. With perfect thinned 3b 34's I believe 122 mph would be possible.

I am still unclear, are we speaking of the boat that is first pictured to start this thread ?

Thanks Skater. When you owned the boat did you have much trouble with the center Engine ?
Any info you can give I greatly appreciate !

In no way shape or form do I think it would make sense for a third on our 32 , not worth extra fuel , weight , stress on transom and rigging for an extra 10 MPH !! I will be extremely happy if my hunk of **** runs 100 MPH with new 300 Opti's !

What is most inportant to me is that it stays together for 600 hours , no blower boat can do that
