Noli, any more pics or videos? This is a killer one!! What do you guys estimate the top end would be with 300XS's?

Hi,

With the 300Xs motors the top end is estimated at 112~115

We're waiting for Sandy's interior to be completed and then it will get photographed and possibly get some video coverage

i think that may be a bit optimistic. JMO
400r upgrades over 300xs powered cats have been 15 mph.

Doug's 32s don't have that kind of spread Ron. The fastest 400 32 that I have heard of is the canopied 4 seater which hit 127 a couple of times now according to Jr. and I have been in a 32 with XS power at 119. The 36 has seen 124 "with three passengers in it" now as well with 400s. Like Noli mentioned above, they have a been getting a lot of input from Doug on this project. I hope they see their goals and we get another fast contender in the market.

remember also that the DW 32 has a longer running surface than the Predator 30, which makes the PRed30 ideal for lakes and rivers. Then when you want to go to the ocean, she carries herself well too.

we shall see. we have to build one to def see her performance.

eventually someone will build the widebody with 300XS.

$36K vs. $55K ...hmmm just a matter of time

also if someone already has a pair of 300XS in their garage and is handy with installing motors...

Noli,

What did Sandy's hull end up weighing?

Joe,

It wasn't light and it wasn't too heavy either

I can't expose the weight at this time because hull #2 will be lighter and I can expose the weight of that one...not trying to be an a** , just doing what I was told...and not do

Strong and light is a delicate balance. The DW28s are coming out around 1900 and Doug's 32s are around 2100 for a reference.

That's bare hull/deck ?

That's bare hull/deck ?

Hull, deck, tanks, windshield, and lifting rings. The 32 E Glass boat is a couple hundred pounds more then the carbon.
