I dont think its reinventing the wheel, I see it has thinking outside the box, hp is hp, really the only thing that changes is a wiring harness, and a oil tank, yes theres the gear case issue, but in my opinion everything tha BRP brings to the table out weighs the difference in speed if any, I have the comparison data from the orginal owner with the 300x, so we will see.....,.,Quote:

Glad to see a tuff made it to the east coast.
we all know an x or xs is gonna work. but doesn't anyone want to see a G2 break 100 on a tuff?
go for the G2... everyone has a merc. dont be like everyone else.lol
Ill will defenitly keep you posted as this progresses, its time to do something different, plus that boat with a white motor is going to be a head turner
Great job joe
id like to see a merc 400 on that boat
I would really get a thrill seeing an E-tec get the chance to strut its stuff here.
You should make this the firt Tuff to run Class 7 OPA...... Just a suggestion

Ok Ok, I ordered the G1, it should be here in about 2 weeks, rigging should only take a day or so....Quote:

I will never go outside (Ocean)with a SOB, but I will put it on the edge just to see how TOUGH Tuff really is, I just hope all the speed hype is for real, and not a figment of the builders imagination.......Honestly I never asked John Mcnight how fast his boat went with the x, I know his set up was conservitive which I totally understood, reason is the result of maturationQuote:

I have "ONE" of the best "SETUP" men in the business. If anyone can sqeeze every MPH out of this particular setup he will, you see I dont pretend to be Werner Von braum,or Carl Kiekhaefer,and know doubt that xs/dbr would probably be bad a$$, but I see you have a Yammi,:thumbsup: why? releiability?, low maintance costs?, respectable speed?, better warrenty, ? better customer service? I wonder??????:smiletest: As far as the buider, Im one of 2 0r 3 people on this board that has direct contact with him, has spend hours with him, has had thousands of words exchanged with him, I have not one bit of convidence in anything he says....but thats for another thread.... and boy that will be a duzzyQuote:
