Why not put a 120 mph gps speedo in it so you really know how fast you are going? Sweet boat, I am sure whomever buys it will be a happy camper. Good luck with the sale!

I'm sure you will see a different speedo in the future. You can change the Garmin to display the speed too. We would like to thank the Sunsation crew for building another great boat and Mitch for a great paint job.

I went out with Joe in that boat on Thursday for one last test before it shipped down to Hideaway. That boat does not need a windshield, and it has an LCD that shows the speed digitally, so when the 100 mph speedo isn't enough (I don't think even Wayne thought these would be that fast) you can still tell just how fast you are going.
Going 60 in one of those boats is like going 60 in a Lincoln or a Caddy on the freeway. Going 80 is like doing 80 in your Lincoln or Caddy with the windows down. Going 95 or so is the same, only your sunglasses try to pull off your face. So you had better get goggles.
As far as the wind, doing 50 in a Ranger bass boat is much, much worse. You really don't get that "My skin is going to blow off my face" feeling in the cockpit of the F-4.
Someone needs to order one of these with 850's or 1075's so we can see one really cook!
Honestly, doing 90 in an F-4 is less eventfull than 40 in my Nova. That boat is that good!

No warranty on the 1200's so that is a tough motor to stock. We just sold our next two production spots. One customer ordered the 700's and the other is a 662 boat. Looks like it will be a little while now before a 850 or 1075 boat is out.

They have turned out to be less than popular on the resale market. There is a 39 Outerlimits languishing in the classified with Ilmors and the owner will install 525's to sell the boat but still not sold.
From what I remember Ilmor doesn't want to help with R & D on the install with the manufacturers so most boat builders don't want to waste their time installing them.
