Lol. Just my personal opinon.........

No disrespect intended but Don is right, it won't turn 32's to 6300. How do I know? I own a 32b ( although not a flat deck) and it won't turn near 6300 with 32's and believe me, between Gary Ballough and I we have hours in setup.
Maybe Frank will chime in here but I believe he barely broke 100mph with his 30. yes i know it's a smaller boat, less tunnel, less compression but it is also considerably lighter.
My last thought really is "why care" if it runs 95-98 or it runs 102. This is an offshore boat, and if with the best all around setup..time to plane, acceleration etc.. leads to a best of 95 ( or whatever the number is) then I believe you have a great package. Setting it up for the peak top end number usually leads to a boat which is only good for such

Gary would know what loan shark runs , and if he has 300xs's and what props he runs.
Is your boat paul whittiers old boat that had 4 2.5's on it?
I've gotta think a brand new boat built for twins has to be alot lighter and faster than an older, non cut down boat .
If you look at the pic of the 09 on the trailer, those engines look to be mounted quite low to me. The basic skater conservative, let your customer get some seat time setup.
Raise em up , spin em in, get the right props and you get it to mph. Simple.

Dan has 300xs's spinning out with a myriad of different props and yes Gary has run it and yes knows the number.
My Boat originally had quad 2.5's but was not Paul Whittiers boat.
Lastly yes the 2009 should be a bit lighter but is still quite a bit bigger than a 30

So what props and what's the number? if we say this boat is 7mph slower, i think it should be close.

I have done the same thing for 3 years with my 308 T/300XS, and it is a 102+mph boat at best. Both Page Racing, and JT at TNT have been in my boat, helping with setup and prop testing, as well as I have tried many prop combinations from Throttle-Up.

It (the 308) is a great boat as is the 32B! The buyer needs to have realistic speed expectations, or they will be disapointed.

Like I said in post #32 My personal opinion on speed, is that 98 is it, under normal conditions. Perhaps a bit more it someone spends time and money, on testing, with various setups and props.

Very well said Frank!
Let me follow up with this. If speed is the only concern then maybe the buyer would be disapointed, If over all performance and the ability to run well across a large array of water is, then the 32B is the perfect choice.

I understand Eric Simon can tweak the 300XS. A little more power and a few more RPM might be the ticket to the century mark.

Eric Simon raises the limiters to 6500, makes some fueling changes and lightens the flywheels.

ttt, back in classifieds.
