That thing is going to be serious- My guess is mid to upper 30s...

Never, ever viewed any film of any Tuff out in the rough water. Great lake runners for sure though. I thought Howard ran high 120s in a V back in the day.
...is that a typo joe?Quote:

They claim "estimated" :rolleyes: "60"s on their web site. Fugi, that's with a "1" in front .. ;)
Don't know about the tank , but since it's basically a 21 Superboat with 13' built out front .. makes it look to "stubby" in the back for my liking. Maybe it's the picture, but it looks like the cabin area is even smaller than my old 21'. :cool:
Power ole boy ... look @ all them "semi-empty" drums stacked and strewn about. :eek:

I would still like to see the TUFF 24 go up against the 24 Nordic at the Parker Enduro.
Equal powertrains. :cheers:Quote:

Would be great to see the photos and the film of that for sure.
Being that the Tuff 28 w/single 860/6-drive pulled 137, with another 500 HP and only 6’ (2m for our Canadian friends ;)), I’m predicting if the bottom on the new Tuff 34 is as good or better than the 28, it’ll run 148-156 once they get it dialed.Quote:

I don’t care who you are, this sounds good coming and going...

Where is this photo taken Capt? Those boys are mixing it up for sure!Quote:

I'd say the tide went out, check out the cavitation plate out of the water and the water line on the rock bulk head.
...i think the water is just "that" clear...Quote:

...that boat has a completely flat bottom at the transom. thats a 20'' shaft motor. the boat has no payload in it yet. the water is crystal clear. its a promotional shoot only...
Is there anywhere left in the boating world where you can still do this??Quote:

I had heard that some of Mercury's underwater videos of propellers & lower units, were videoed at Silver Springs Florida because of the crystal clear water.Quote:

Silver Springs is over one hour north of Orlando Florida, and was a major tourist attraction.
But when Disney World open in the 1970's, the tourist attraction for Silver Springs started declining.
I remember going there in the 1960's waiting in line to get on the glass bottom boat, but in this video the current tourist traffic is way down. It reminds me of Cypress Gardens and other water ski shows declining too.
