How many older 46's are out there??? Say pre 2000....
 

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

46' Skaters.....
 

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...
