Re: fastest 288

going fast cost big $ i think the new merc combo with the tranny in it is more eficcient than a larger gear in a drive "b max" for in stance, current boat lost 4 mph going too b maxs but drives last now ! and reliability has its price also .i think that new merc combo is right on and i also think the new 288 hull will take a little more speed ,even if it is for short bursts! a good cruise # and a quick burst of speed is really what im lookin for. you guys are great thanks for all the help. thanks charlie m

I thought the old Firecraker ( 288 not MCOB) was into the 90's with a 800 Crockett motor and Bravo drive back about 1996 or 98. Ask Joe or Wayne they will remember it for sure, I think that was the first Mither T paint job if my memory is right

a 32 on a tandem trailer? I thought all were sold with a triple axle? I do know they have sold a few 32's with a single and they do handle very well. The ASD looks like a cool option

But i love this puppy .....maybe after more hour running (i have only 25 Hrs)...i be able to handle this kind of speed :D :D

You will be fine after a few more hrs of seat time 25 hors, Also you will notice that she handles much better in 1-2 foot waters than she does on calm waters. Every 90 mph run I have ever made with my 288 handled much better in the rougher waters. On smooth waters I was still able to run those speeds, but I had to do some fancy driving to keep her stable :D :D

thanks for all the info guys just thinking about what top speeds a 288 mcob could "burst" too? i dont think it would be out of the question too think a properly set up 700 merc motor in the right drivers hands would be possible too hit 90 . any thoughts ?

you know how to run a boat with u at the wheel it probably wouldnt be too bad
