Designs for a single 450R.

[Pulsare2400]

I am the guy with the 2020 long deck 2400 with the 300R. As the poster above said, I was expecting the 300R to accelerate close to the 400R. It was not even close, nor was the top speed. I think the 450R is an awesome motor but for the price difference between a 400R and a 450R I would take the 400R. If money was no object then anyone would take the 450R, but if you figure 50K for the 2400 and 60K for the 450R, you have a $110K 24 ft Pulsare. You can buy a Tuff 24 with a 300R for that money and run slightly over 100 mph.

The OP was asking about twin 300R on a 28 V hull vs single 450R, in that case it's a no brainer for the twins, more power, more stability, and about the same money.

The 300R puts out 328 HP, it's a beast. On a 24 pulsare, the 450R is going to be disappointing, for the money, I bet, it's just not a super fast hull. Great boat though.

I don’t think anyone of them would willingly switch back to 300r from 400r

I would for sure. Not a fan of the 2.6

nice
what boat is that

Its mine. Phantom 30.

You will have less power (450 vs 600) but I agree, unless you were going offshore a lot, the lower weight, less maintenance, less fuel, for the same money would make sense unless all out top speed was a major factor.

Saw this picture on Offshore Only looks like the perfect package to me.

Does to me too. Never heard of Phantom before.
We get a pretty good chop here. How would this boat handle rougher water as compared to my Superboat 24 CC?

Phantom boats are built in Sarasota Fl. Will Smith is the company owner/operator and a great guy-

I love a single too. Looking forward to seeing more big V8 single and twin setups. Most 28-30 hulls need twins but there are a few exceptions obviously. As the boat gets bigger, the advanteges of twins become more apparent.

That Phantom is awesome for sure.
