New TUFF 24 ft hull

**RBT** · 09-22-2016, 08:02 PM

The xs' boats are running well over 100. One is closing in on 110, I personally can't see the 24 being that fast, but again. Mark is and has been right every time on his estimates.
So let's assume, the 24 should push 100 with a single outboard. As far as sterndrives. I'd run the illmor long before I bought a 600 from mercury. The only plus to mercury is that is is very easily upgrade able.

Which 21 is closing on 110? Thats an insane number for one of these boat! As far as I/O goes the Merc 525 with the stage 2 whipple is very sprong and reliable with around 800hp. Id also use an imco sxc upper with either an sc or scx4 lower. Looks like the hull is a conventional hull with no steps, get that drive up high

I really enjoyed reading this thread. Can't wait to see the final product. Curious, will it have a flat transom for stern drive & outboard applications, or a splashwell?

Is the new 24 pulled from the forwardmost 24 feet of the 28 hull mold?

I don't think so Fujimo...the 24 has a 7 ft beam. Pretty sure the 28 is wider.

28 is a 95" beam (7.92). I can't say if the 24 is closer to 7 or 8. Either way, they both are narrow.

And "crime". I did call the dream police when I read 24 ft boat with a 200 running 97....

Reggie taught Allison? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Taught them what? How he could copy the bottom of their old 20 footer and win offshore races with it? Yep, he did do that! One thing Darris does NOT do is BS about speed. If he says the boat will run 97 with a 200, it will. Yours might not, but his will.

Under 7ft she will be a slicer for sure. At 24ft she should have enough beam to displace a 500-600lb motor easily. Cant wait to see the final product and some numbers. Theres some sweet new hulls this year like what Screaming Eagle has done with the Talons also. Another all time favourite in Tunnels. Any word on when Mark might have one in the water? Some of the fastest Vee Bottoms are a tick under 7ft.
