Ran a 25 Liberator today with 400R's

[WILDMAN]

I let a guy with a 400R powered 25 Liberator (Texas boat) try my 36" Hill cleavers today. Best he has seen on his Dewald props was 119-120. We ran 124-125 every pass with 2 guys, 50 gallons of gas, and 88 degrees out. This was in my 1.25 mile long test lake.

Needs more room to get it to 135 :D

[WILDMAN]

The shoreline sure was coming up quick at that speed. At first I wasn't sure I could get it slowed down in time.

[flabum1017]

Did that a couple times with my RC boat.... had to go looking for it in the bushes..............

They're going too fast

[WILDMAN]

There are 3 pics on post #1

[Beak Boater]

Pictures aren't showing up for me either. Impressive numbers. Im sure your 300R boat will be close when you finish dialing it in.

[specboatops]

Not seeing any pics either ???

[89Talon18]

We need pictures wildman your teasing everybody

[TraceF3]

It's probably already sold anyway... LOL

[WILDMAN]

Here's the pics again. The pics show up for me just fine.

[robert jordan]

No pics here for me either, just tiny little black boxes with a x in them.

[TraceF3]

[99fxst99]

Friend mine here had a Eliminator 28 Speedster built and got it late last year. Twin 400R's. Sneeze and ya doing 100! I can't find the pix I got, but ya know what look like..(maybe get some more pix W/E, unless he's in Havasu)..

[home made tunnel]

I see little boxes with an X in them too. :(

Does the midrange feel the same as the 300's?

I'm bugging the wife... I want to buy a Liberator for my next boat... She want's me to by 3 acres of land to build a house... Decisions!!!

[Scream And Fly]

I'm looking closely at the issue. home made tunnel, can you try reloading the page that isn't loading the photos for you?

[flabum1017]

I don't see the pics either, not even the boxes. running Win 7 with Chrome Version 74.0.3729.169 (Official Build) (64-bit)

[flabum1017]

Just checked wit a windows 10 box and chrome, no pics there either.

[flabum1017]

Not on Edge either, but have no problems in other threads, maybe it the photo file type he's using?

Yes, I know... Randy has been around a while.... :D

[HydroSkreamin]

FWIW not showing anything at all (no X’s Or boxes) using Safari on my phone.

Good numbers, Wildman.

[Robby321]

I can't see them either, but talked my friend just now the Speedster 28. He's back from Desert Storm and boat getting shipped here (Puget Sound)

But Randy, just a heads up on 400R's as late last year, my bud lost a prop. Seems 5 blade, 400 HP, surface props (yes tucked in the get on plane) and the prop shaft is stainless, then fused to carbon steel. It broke at the fused part. And getting on plane and FOUND IT at low tide! Merc knew the problem. Had the option both L/U's rebuilt, or new but gonna pay. So had rebulit free (well, nothing free!). Its here now, and in the water W/E. He's also got a 25 V bottom Liberator, 300 Etec...got to much much money, but Mama says..We need more HP!

I'm looking closely at the issue. @home made tunnel (https://www.screamandfly.com/member.php?u=68175), can you try reloading the page that isn't loading the photos for you?

So on my computer with Internet Explorer, I see the 3 boxes with an "x" in them. On my iphone with chrome, there's no pictures or boxes at all.

[flabum1017]

I can see Robby's pictures just fine

There are a lot of inboards getting ready to be schooled on acceleration in our new world. If they don't have the big power then they don't stand a chance catching new outboards for the first mile. Please wear jackets when running "you might not intend to go fast, but when someone pulls up next to you all bets are off"-its how we are built.

I hope mercury puts the new Tech in the midsize outboard category. A new smaller Midsize Race motor would be awesome for those of us who cant run with the big boys.

[JPEROG]

There just isn't enough market demand unfortunately. It all went away when insurance became an issue. No insurance=no loan=way less small performance boat sales and guys were forced into center consoles and tri-toons.

I heard this was going to happen soon. Announcement coming in near future.
