Was At the Syracuse boat show yesterday.

Chatting with the guys from Sugar Sand boats, They are claiming that there 240 hp jet boat is the fastest accelerating production
boat on the market. Something like 0-55 in 5.6 seconds

Now i spent an entire summer with one of these boats and in no way will it even run 55 mph topped at 48 mph all summer long.

Does anyone have any performance numbers on new production boats that might support there claim ??

Should have told me you were going to the boat show. My brother and brother-in-law went and after looking at all the"rod holders" at the NYC boat show last month I just couldn't take the disappointment again. They said it sucked; what did you think of it?

Actually Woodco bought it but we haven't exchanged yet. I will guarantee you 7 mph over what your running. Then you can fight him for it. Do you have a jackplate?

37...that's 10 more than Wooco hehe. You guys insist on running those anchors. What is your boat length? If it's what I think it is then you have a super good looking boat. A lot of people think they look like Liqui-Fly a little.
