Fastest SOB hull???

[Greg G]

Figured out the bigger version .............

[mariawhitetrash]

Too bad they are not built anymore. Maybe Nordic USA can buy the molds for the 23. It would be cool to see a just below 23 footer (fits the SOB list) get built with new materials and bagging techniques and 300XS power. It would have to be faster than 86mph.

I think the moulds for the 23 were destroyed, not sure though. There is a legal dispute over the 21 moulds at the moment

Shame on the 23. Interesting that they offered so many lengths in these hulls.

Here's a good pic from a race in the Summer, shows the staggered single step design well

I've had issues with both actually haha, to be expected though with the pounding it gets! The powerhead has been faultless, saddle and mounts needed a lot of beefing up!

I've been paying attention I'm replacing my mounts with solid billet ones on my 250 HO's prior to running my new boat. Have to say though my 24 SuperBoat ran flawlessly for 60 hours this summer. Only issue I had was I never got her propped right. What kinda prop are you running?

Best all rounder was a 25p Rev 4, thinned and balanced. Never had a chance to try a bow lifting 3 blader on flat water, a raker or chopper would see great top end I reckon. Bronze bushes are well worth doing if you have the saddle apart

yup happening really don't think there needed for the kind of boating I'm doing but heck enough of you racers are recommending them so better to be safe then sorry.... I mean honestly my boat is a pleasure performance boat it will never see the type of abuse a race boat will see but I see no harm in being cautious. I ran the same prop on mine labbed I was still on the limiter though I'm thinking I'm gonna need to run a 32p I guess time will tell......

That pic is awesome and gives a great step shot. Innovative for sure.

Top 10 ..... Top 10 ..... Top 10

Obviously a cat hull of some type,
As far as specifics i think it's all about setup and weight so probably a Liberator maybe a lightweight Eliminator

probably after all the 2nd reply is right..^^^^^^

The last push for pics of the new 6 ............

[aaronmt73]

I have another prop on the way,I'm not sure its going to be any faster.It's a 28 bravo xs,the 27 tempest was spinning about 400rpms to high.I'm.going to see about borrowing a buddys 28 txp I really think it may put it a bit higher up on the list.I have been busy with the holidays,new house and we just bought a second boat.Not a go fast boat but it'll be perfect for the lake its a Malibu Echelon.
