It’s a big departure from what the others are doing. Like most tuff’s you aren’t likely to see a bottom picture, but it is VERY different. Designed to eat rough water with huge frontal area on the sponsons, a deep (by far the deepest) tunnel and from the looks of it also more speed than its competitors.

Have you been in it ?

I can't wait to see one of them race in super stock.
I seen it in person as well, many cool new ideas and I think it will be a giant success! How fast are the other twin 300 boats of a similar size?
I think a 32 DW is an ~ 120 mph boat with 300R’s …. Paul or Joe would know.Quote:

How much is the insurance premium .. ??? :rolleyes:
Just remember the SS race boat must meet the safety cell requirements which add weight,Quote:

So I don't know what weight the Tuff was tested at, but make it weigh 4,900 lbs to do your test
Because that is the class Minimum.
The first turn for that class is always edgy.
I've seen you drive an Allison. Yours will probably run low/ mid 80s.:DQuote:
