I know not that many outboard Y2Ks have been built. Is there a top speed difference between the full deck and the CC versions? How much faster is the Y2K bottom than the old Tempest bottom?
Cool boat and cute dog, btw.

The only y2k with outboards ran something like a top of 92, and was a consistent 88/89 according to the owners, (with pro et props and 2.5 mercs). I know they have an outboard hardeck in the production que, but just not many out there to have any real gauge. George and I have discussed this many times that the center of gravity would be different in the boats and would be interesting to see how a 30 y2k with 300 xs's would run. I know it wuld be less windy then mine.....but I like the wind

most of the outboard tempests i have run require more driver input and skill to run em hard and fast and although the tempest is faster power for power i would take the ride and user friendliness of the Y2K any day.....we had one set up with 300 yamahas that was just under 90 but man what a bear to drive if the conditions werent perfect.....
and for the dog lovers....lol...more of mikey hamming it up....

My old 30 Tempest (Ocean Outboards race boat) ran 90 with twin 2.5's. It had a 3' step and the motors on the transom, no setback were 18" on center. Tony also ordered it as very light cored layup. I will also agree it was a real hand full to run above 75+.
Mikey, the ham looks very happy!

Mikey!!! Favorite dog in our house
What george said is all correct, as far as why JC hasnt sold more, who knows, everyone who goes for a ride loves it, and I know the owner of the other single suzuki cc and he loves it, its such a user friendly, hybrid type boat, it would meet a lot of peoples needs, but what do I know!
