Like someone stated earlier in the thread, how do you lose 66 lbs by going from 20" to 15" mid?
also, what did the Omc V8 weigh back in the day?

Just so you guys know I got the fat B--ch 2550 stock no rigging no motors. most of you start out much lighter than that. i think skater says 2100 so I started 450 in the hole.

As for fuel consumption it never really mattered to me, I just wanted power and speed!

What does your rig weigh ready for the water Jim, no fuel? Don't tell me you've never weighed it! Mine was 5,860 #s on the trailer, went and dropped the boat in the water and took the trailer straight back to the scales and weighed it at 1,980 #s. The boat had 10 gallons of gas and 6 gallons of oil on board (100 #s). So that's how I know mine weighs 3,780 #s dry, but ready for the water (full interior, stereo, two Braille 17# batteries, on-board battery charger, props on and ready for fuel/oil). Even though you started with a heavy bare boat, I doubt you're any heavier than mine after you've starved yours over the past 10 years.

Dale, with all do respect I'm not getting into the debate on #'s!
The only thing I will say is I loved my X's and would only run those motors if fuel consumption was not a concern.
I have run along here on LI with Jim, Charlie T, Joey Imp in crazy Nick's 28 and VinnyR and all I will say is the mail was moving right along!! Jim was always up front though!

I do hear there's a lot of fast 28s back East..........with Jim's being one of the fastest twins for sure. The funny thing about the #s debate is that we're all just bull****ting about being the king of the ants! Lol......... With 180mph on-up inboards commonplace nowadays, we're all just slow-pokes in our wackers!
