New TUFF 24 ft hull

[2.5-21]

Yes a 250 and I believe 98 was its speed.

same motor just more $$$$?

Reviving this thread. How would a Tuff 24 do with a new 300R?

[Greg G]

Hmmmm. I'd be surprised if they are not testing one in stealth mode right now.

It would do great. I think the 1.75 gears are too low though, would do way better with 1.62. As would any light fast boat.

Bet it would be hard to beat a carbon cowled 300xs ,162 SM ,raised limiter to 7000 rpm 34 pitch dewalt setup on the 24? I could be wrong but from what ive read and watched the 400R is cancelled out buy weight,Gear Case and weight. On bigger hulls it seems to do better. A higher rpm 300xs with 162 on the 24 would do what speed propped right? i dont think this has been on the 24 yet only new motors stock configurations?

You may be right but on a hull this size the torque of the V8 would help. A 34 on the limiter is 110, which likely is faster than the 300xs would push it, so the 1.75 may be somewhat of a non-factor in this case, although it would be nice to pitch down to 32 or 30 with the 1.62. A 300xs falls on it's face well before 7000, so the rpms aren't going to help a ton in terms of max speed.

Thanks JC didnt know a 400r with a 34 went 110. I missed that one. I was thinking it went 99 with the Rude 300 didnt realize a 110 was the number thats dam fast single 24ter OB!!

The 21 Liberator with a 400R and a 34" max5 ran 111 at 6900. Rev limit on a 400 is 7200.

Was that the fastest a 21 Liberator has gone with a single?

I should have been more clear, I was just saying a 300r with 1.75 should still yield a similar or better speed than the 300xs with 7k limit in this situation. On the bigger cats where they run 115+, you start to run out of rpm. However, on a 24 foot boat with a single 300, I think you can get away with 1.75 and 6400 limiter with props like the 34 max 5 because that calculates out to 110 or so, which is probably more than the 300 will be able to pull anyway. Thus, the 1.75 doesn't really matter as much here

[WILDMAN]

Yes, 111. I ran 129 with twin 280's

Awesome boat, I am sure the price is in-line with what it cost to build but you wont see it in the US for those numbers...

[David]

$100K Cdn. But it goes over 100 mph. Wow.

Like I said we should test 3 like boAts a 24 ruff deff the fastest ,24 progression and superboat. The super being slowest but a z blast to drive n w go throw anthing so put a 300xs a 300 r and 400 r n see if the price is worth the Doller diff. The xs is 5-6 more than 300rand the 400 r being 7ish more. I think g 300xs is most bang for buck but could b wrong g
