Taking a little jab to see if we can get a run

1.32HP/ kg. Better thank someone for making it so heavy.

Our 24v with a four hundred can run circles around that boat. Not to mention the big eight

You say you've ran 90 and that you can run circles around that SCB V hull but no one has ever seen video of your pad vees going 80 much less 90 mph. Post up some proof for once on this thread of your 24 footer going 80 or 90 and don't just say stop by the shop to see. Actually post a video for the world to see.

Anyone notice how nicely that Xcat, with all that extra motor weight, was nice and level when getting on plane? CG figured out pretty well?

I don't think that's getting on plane, it's just plowing through to plane off

[AZMIDLYF]

So it is loaded with bow ballast then?

Thats a bigger cat then the usual x cats. Around 34ft if im not mistakin. It was being used as a demo/test boat.

[bep078]

There are 2 24ft Checkmate pulsars on the checkmate forum that converted from a Verado 300 Pro to a 400r. The speed gain was 10 mph on average for both boats. Both the lower units of their 400r are the new sportmaster. However one must consider that the 24 checkmate was a 74 mph boat with the verado 300 pro. From what im reading and hearing, the biggest gains the 400r is producing when compared to a 300 verado or 300xs is in boats running in the 75 mph mark with a 300 which tend to be relatively heavier then the smaller light go fast boats. There seems to be diminishing returns when the boat is already in the triple digits.

Getting on the plane ( which a cat never does) like a cross channel ferry in the UK
CoG related to getting on the plane..maybe if it was a plank of wood

So no difference getting on plane between an ass heavy boat and one that is balanced out?

you are assuming the hydrodynamics of the hull dont exist
How well does a twin sterndrive offshore mono get on the plane?
IF you add enough weight in the bow it will get on the plane easily but it will be too bow heavy to do anything

My 22 with a yamaha runs over 90 all day lol i have 10 videos up on this site. What speed did the 400 see?also what does it run with 300xs would be nice to see a honest person compare it. Thanks not picking a fight just want to see comparisons of a true sob .

The SCB's are seeing solid 8 mph differences at least up to 10 mph. I just want Climax to prove that his V hulls are running the speeds he says they do because they've had months to make one video of their v hulls running 90 but they haven't gotten one yet everyone with a boat and a go pro makes numerous videos of their boats at WOT including myself. It's fishy at best and low and behold he hasn't even responded to my call out yet.

[CLIMAX]

Jillgen, Just the way I like to play. I will take your call. You must have an SCB, and I am Sure you you know where marker 37 is. Currently I am running the twenty one with twins, that Gordon has put a ton of work in if you would like to play with that. But would love to run our twenty four with a four hundred against your SCB any day. Bring a Fat Checkbook Lets Play

[XstreamVking]

Instead of the check book, bring a gps and post it....We like vids....
