My 32 Activator with SSM#6 went close to 100mph with the 930hp JC engine.
So I think A 30 Y2K would be a rocket with 1200.

But you guys know's your boats better than I do :)

I have now a 1100hp in my boat but have not pulled her to the limit yet :D
"my" boat..... I had a deposit on it yesterday...... :(

Hey Rick it was only 97 mph!

Some hulls just run out of speed no matter how much power you add. What kind of number are you looking to spend on a boat without a motor ? I know a 30 that ran 99 with a 750 !

30-60 for a good hull, but is the SuperBoat the one? I spend 90% of my time on a river....I want a v bottem that can run 110-120 so is it a SuperBoat, Activator or Howard Bullet.

I think a Y2K can easily do 110 with 1200hp . Problem your gonna have is finding an outdrive that will handle a 1200hp single . My Konrad went bang and I don't know if it had a defect or if the 800 hp killed it .
There are a number of surface drives that handle 1200hp ie X Power and a number 6 but there is a question weather a surface drive works well on singles .
The Activators blew Bravo's , X's , XR with Imco's like they were plastic .
Go 24' Superboat and the upgraded Bravo with 1200hp as long as your not whole shoting .

Get a cat for those speeds. Simply put. Y2K is a great boat, ive lost a lot of races to them. 110+ plus in a single engine vee bottom is stupid and dangerous.

Please stop talking common sense 'round here...:helmet:

100% correct on that one ! I know how my boat feels at 95 ! I would like To see triple digits 100-101 range but I have no interest in going 110-115 .

Thank you all for the input that's what I was looking for, folks that have tried this already. Any and all input is greatly appreciated, this is going to be a good winter project.

Va is not that far away , Hopefully I'll have my drive back next week . Come on down and I'll take you for a ride .
