Single engine 27 activator

[vi top shatta]

Has anyone rigged or know of a straight bottom 27 activator with a single outboard engine. Looking for some feedback on handle, speed and general all around performance. Pics would be helpful also. Appreciate any assistance given.

There is this one (pictures from the internet) that I heard ran well, but no first hand experience

I have seen these pics but was unable to get any info about it.

So I was unable to find a lot of info on a single engine 27’ Activator so I built one.

Please tell us more about your boat and how it runs

This boat runs great with just one engine. I’m still learning it but so far I’m impressed. It does like to be ran hard in the chops. I’m running a 400 reg V10 with a 24 max 5. I have seen 77 so far at 6300. I don’t think I have maxed out the props full potential because as I get more comfortable the numbers have climbed. She like to run hard in the chops, it almost seems like every chop she hops it climbs in speed.

I am interested if anyone has any advice on a different prop selection to try that this hull might like, I doubt that I’m so lucky that I found the best prop on the first go round. I would like to squeeze 80 out her. I think she got it in her to give.
