New TUFF 24 ft hull

7 ft beam should cut through some slop rather nicely.

This 24 is going to eat rough water with that bow dead rise angle. It reminds me of an American built boat that was a little shy of 24 feet but had a V and a beam closer to 6'. Name escapes me at the moment. If Tuff can get this new 24 to do 90mph on demand with a single they are going to be sending a lot of them to the UAE for play boats. Great all around size for a sit down.

Never have I doubted the design skills of Mr. Allison, but 97 with a 200 is a bit of a stretch for me. How many grandsports will do 97 with a 200. A few, but a boat that is 3 feet longer? Not saying that it couldn't happen. If it's running 97 with a 200, what would it be running with a DBR 300x?

I hear you thats part of the reason its not out yet also. His newest creation is so fast with little power that most are going to want to put a 300xs on her and he doesnt know how he feels about that. He seems to worry alot about liability these days. Theres still testing being done but she is very very close to what he wants. She also has a no chine walk hull some how? Another liability thing as almost anyone can hope in and go fast. Who knows if or went that hull will ever make it to market. He told me it will but only when shes thoroughly tested. Im personally over it now anyway thats why im so exited about the 24fter from Tuff. The 24 with a CRT motor sounds like a sick combo to me. Even a 300xs but if your going next generation SOB might as well go next generation power. I cant wait to see the finished hull! They are so sick and slick looking in both forms OB and IB. its kinda a new era again that were were being treated to a few great new hulls. i love the new talon layup also. LCB and a even a few other Manufactures in this 20-24ft range are making sweet hulls these days. I wish i lived were I could take a few out for a spin to appreciate them even more. I think Marks timing is perfect for this type of hull.

....Just like the 24' Superboat! It cuts through the water very well...
This new Tuff should be a great addition to the SOB's!

Do you ever read your posts? It's hilarious. If he's worried about liabilities... He would have recalled Grandsports years ago.
A boat too fast for the general public??? LOL

I'm literally LOL'ing right now.

COME ON!!!!!!

EVERYTHING ALWAYS COMES BACK TO ALLISON WITH YOU!!!!!!! We could make it a drinking game... every time you mention it... good grief!

The guy is proud of the brand of boat he owns, I guess that's a crime? (To be noted, it's a pretty tough conversation to discuss boat innovation and not bring up the Allison name at some point, they've been doing it for 60+ years.) Allison is known for liability concerns btw (look at the recommended horsepower ratings, weight ratings, etc.). Anyway, back on topic, this new Tuff is going to be Sweeet! You could put some serious power in an IO...

Everyone now is talking about big power in tone 24, remember the 28 goes 120 with just 725 hp. I would expect the 24 will be in the teens with a itty bitty 570 illmor.
Like I said. Was under the impression that mark think he can make it as fast as the 21 power for power.

Funny, that was the exact hull(24 SB) I thought of when I read the original post.

Don't get your jimmies rustled over a little ribbing bud! Everyone knows that Reggie taught Allison everything they know... Pffft.

And "crime". I did call the dream police when I read 24 ft boat with a 200 running 97....

I'll take a 400ROS please.

Even with a mercruiser 600SC in it the performance would be crazy....

This is exactly what i was thinking. I already priced a new 600 sci with a bravo xr sportmaster combo. Would be approximately 100K total and man what a beast that would be. I wonder what one would run with a 300x or xs??

[XstreamVking]

About 20 mph slower than with a 600SC......

[mjw930]

Looks like the perfect platform for a 400R

[capteliminator]

Which would be what? I have a nice low hour 300x, a new 600 w/ bravo sportmaster is 53k. They claim 24 should run as well as the 21 with same power so, would it run in the 90'same with an x?
