Fastest SOB hull???

[302Sport]

21-24ft, what is the fastest with a single outboard???

[ripstop]

Obviously a cat hull of some type,
As far as specifics i think it's all about setup and weight so probably a Liberator maybe a lightweight Eliminator

The last push for pics of the new 6 ............

No cats just vee bottoms. APBA used to have a SOB class that specified vee bottom single OB 21-24ft. Looking for something in that range

RobF, what is confusing LOL. No cats like Franks. Just ask Coen.

I see that later, was not in the first post

How much does an extra layer of glass and a bulkhead weigh roughly on a 21 V?

This was post 3 on here. Can't remember but I think somewhere on here there was talk that this SOB class was for the Linder, and Class 7 style boats that have deeper Vs for rough water capabilities. Maybe someone needs to start an SOB class for Vs under 20 degrees all the way to flat bottoms.

1991 vector/python deep v 1991 7000.00 847-744-0088. without engines. Has tandem aluminum trl.

302sport moved onto larger boats, but I guess if it would qualify for this class then it gets on the list?

[mikeylarge]

I am sure this will become interesting. There are a few variables depending on which water you are looking to run. Progression, tuff, Superboat, Intimidator have all broken that 100 mph mark

[RBT]

Nice boat but original poster called for V bottoms only so no cats. The entire thread had been on rough water V's 21' to 24'. Tuff 21 V runs 106mph.

The tuff21 superboat and intimidator are less than 21.... it really bugs me that the true fastest isn’t on this list for what feels like political reasons

[RBT]

Hands down the Tuff 21 is the fastest single engine fee bottom.
