Calling all 30 owners
 

Doing some research on x dim and set ups , I know this is a loaded question but im looking for honest top speed #s with engine size ,hp ,prop,and if you know your x dim , anyone hav a shorty drive or ext box?
And yes hear are my tru #s
30y2k step hull new deck,hp500 with pro charger not really sure of hp,32 lefty prop,1.5 bravo xr with an imco lower (not a shorty)
85mph gps 5100rpm
Im not happy with these numbers and i am making changes to the engine and considering an extension box,I scrapped the procharger and went with a blowershop 250 I have heard similiar stories about poor top end on newer 30s .The boat that was in the shop and for sale for the last two years( i think a blue and yellow stripe?) was one that had a 750 hp blower motor and john claimed ran 100 ,I have heard never ran faster than mid eighties
Zuperboat, is your boat a step hull with an old style deck? Did it come from a freshwater lake ? I think I heard a great story about your boat! what is your set up ? do you hav an extension box?
Thanks for the help guys

Zup how does she handle? and is she slow out of the hole? anybody else out there with a newer 30?

Ive heard the step bottom boats over 90mph have a tendency to get lite in the but end and spinout. This was told to me by a friend at ocean outboard.If you guys need any help at all dont hesitate to ask.[ WILLWORK 4 FOOD ] tHE BOAT HANDLES LIKE ON RAILS.My first 4 blade went on the morning of the hot toddy run and Ill never go back to a 3 blade

ZZ, did your boat come off Lake Conroe in Texas just north of Houston?
My dad lives on that lake.
He was talking to a couple of buddies of his that are in the TOPS (Texas Offshore...) club. Anyway, he told them that I just bought a Superboat. They are still talking about your Superboat, if it's the one, that set the off-shore speed record on that lake a few years ago. Is the record over 100??
We need to hear more.

I did get the boat out of Texas. I sent the guy a deposit and drove down the following week with my wife who at the time was 7 months preg. She had never driven a trailer before but she,s a fast learner.I closed my eyes and she was passing tractor trailers at 90 .Anyway this boat was in hotboat and the article said the boat runs in the upper 90,s so turn up the boost use cam2 and and who knows.

Hey Jcap what stories do you have for me on the zuperboat, Who knows if any of them are true. LIOPA has a run on may 31 in the great south bay INTERESTED, hopefully im in the water by then
