Fastest SOB hull???

[Greg G]

Keep in mind that the Bernico had a 2.5 s3000 that probably putted out about 400hp or close! That engine was built in Belgium for F1 cat racing....

Greg- here is the only one I could find of the P22, Maybe Mr Large has one somewhere

[Greg G]

Thanks Rob, it looks like Progression has never changed the bottom of there P22. We have 1991 hulls through 2008 hulls represented in this thread and each has the 7" wide, 5 degree deadrise pad, and the 24 degree variable deadrise V. Evidently no reason to mess with what works over a 16 year production run.

The Fast Five ..............Tuff, Bernico, Progression, Nordic, Sutphen

Greg,

How about a slightly more up to date picture of a P22 at speed like the other hulls? I might offer this:

[Greg G]

I agree, this is a pretty good shot of your P22 aired out TooStroked. Really shows the hull bottom.

[TooStroked]

I agree, maybe someone has a picture of a P22 aired out in high resolution?

Greg,

Just PM'ed you my e-mail address. I can e-mail you several pretty decent aired out shots of mine.

OK....Here is the Red 21' Intimidator w/300X running in a Video ! Keith (Trimmed Out15) driving.

I don't even know if Keith has even seen this. I videoed this along with so much else at the 2011 Ct. River Run that it may have been lost until now.

Now let's have others find and post Videos of supposed 'fast' SOB's in the running and really have a good look !

This is the plug. The deck is a mold but running the plug bottom I can pull a skier 88mph No idea what top speed is without a skier. This boat if built from plug would be at least 200lb lighter. I do not know what I am going to do not many people have the money to purchase small boats right now for the same price as a bigger boat. FYI<o></o>

400hp........I thought the s3000 was basically a 300 Drag with a 12" mid?

[schiadart]

400hp........I thought the s3000 was basically a 300 Drag with a 12" mid?

It was not a stock motor Nico even said so. It all has to do with weight and how long the boat will last. Anyone can make a light boat go fast but last in big water is another story. Amount of hp and weight = SPEED. If you want speed and nasty water for prolonged periods you will be in the glass shop a lot the lighter the boat is built. <O></O>

[Greg G]

And isn't the rough rule of thumb that it takes about 10hp to go 1mph faster?
