and skate30...:violent040:you are pizzing all over our dreams of having 400+hp light weight two strokes for our skaters:lolhit:

All you need is a set of these! Bob's 30' runs 110mph+ according to the screen shot on his speedometer!

Think I figured out the pic thing. Sorry if they're not big enough. Let me know. They come up Fairly large for me but Im no computer guru.

Steve,
The 30 will seem big compared to any other 30 out there. You will love it. I would have Pete finish out the area directly below the deck hatches as its a great place for extra storage. I carpeted mine, but having it white with a slicker finish would be nice.

Should be interesting anyway. Nice haven the transom strengthened for trips or maybe those rumored merc 400s. How about really wishful thinking and triple 400s. Now that would be wonderful. Not sure if it would be possible as they don't exist yet. Steve

the god news is there is no downside here, either you get an amazing boat or you get an amazing boat lol

That pic has been around for almost a year now. Sorry to say that if that is Mercury's answer to a high performance outboard us guys are out of luck. That motor will too heavy, use high test fuel, limited warranty and be very expensive. Not too mention that if they do not change the gearcase it will blow up as well. Have enough issues with 300hp.
Maybe well suited for the CC market which is where all the outboard sales go anyway. Back 4yrs ago a 350hp Verado was $27k each.
