I don't think you guys have any clue how light this boat is. The deck is as thin as a plastic water bottle. It would sink with a V8 and a Looper V6 weighs more than the boat does....

OK just so my foggy brain is up to speed, was this Dukes Vector?

**hydrostreamvking4m** · 12-03-2009, 08:30 AM

Sure was.!

**baja200merk** · 12-03-2009, 09:53 AM

a v6 looper would be fine on that comp, it doesnt weigh any more then that pos hyd plate and the 20in crossflow

it might whoop some ass if its not a weight game, if it had to make weight it would be a different story

**Dukeofchippewa** · 12-03-2009, 10:14 AM

At least the Crossflow can still turn 7200R's after 32 years, better than any merc could do after 2 yrs. without a rebuild.

Uhh no... My LooperV4 weighs what a Flow6 weighs..

**baja200merk** · 12-03-2009, 05:24 PM

everyone that says they are too heavy have never done it

loopers 450 a flow is 400 with that plate/pump its close. If you put a looper on a diet you can shed 30-40lbs fairly easily. A barsh cowling and non fast track will get it down more

the way things are looking theres gonna be one with a looper on it next to my house

I know OMC said 450 but they were heaver than that when actually weighted with a scale... Some where there is a B&WB magazine at my house where JTjr did actual weights of motors with calibrated equipment and found what the manufactures were a little optimistic on the weights they published.

I weighed my Looper 4 at Bakers in 2003 with the same scale they weighed the boats with and it was 417lbs...
