21 Liberator 300R Video Test
Took a video the other day testing a Mercury Racing 32 CNC Cleaver, which the 300R took right to the limiter with ease. 6% slip is great being a true 32 pitch prop. 18 gallons of fuel on board. Hope to get my hands on a 34 soon. 35-100mph in about half a mile, 20.5 seconds. Not too bad for a family boat. Between the bigger motor, stereo system, additional AGM batteries, I added over 200 lbs with this new setup and it is already running faster than the modified Etec setup. Mid range and top end is night and day, even with these monster props. Turn up the volume and enjoy.

Boy set up looks to be on point! She was humming along, look great, sounded great. Never thought I'd see a Mercury on your boat
What speeds were you seeing with the ETEC you ran on it ?God, Country, and Fast Boats

Get rid of those AGM batteries and get Dakota lithiums (1000 CCA) and you'll pick up another few mph.......your boat runs REALLY good.

Thank you! I agree with you 100%, but I'm not taking any chances with this high amp alternator the new V8s come with. Until there is a BMS with resistance to limit the charging amps, I'll use AGM. The battery system I ran before on the Etec was as good as it gets. I still have the Braille Lifepo4 batteries on the shelf. Dakota would be at the bottom of my list for a cranking battery anyhow. A supercap hybrid battery I have will be the first change I go to. I will have new props on Monday to test. Hope to out up some good numbers. I've been testing for acceleration this past week.
