We saw one of these in Key West last week with quad 300s on it:

With 600 gallons of fuel you should be able to run most of the day at
cruising speed.


I've been out on a choppy Buzzard's Bay in a smaller Yellowfin (36', IIRC)
with tripower.
Glanced at the GPS at one point and it indicated 62 mph, yet was one of the
smoothest, soft rides I've ever experienced. Nice boat if you are into
that type.

No doubts about that. Very nice boats. I like a couple of the smaller
ones. Wouldn't consider an outboard boat these days with big horsepower
twins or trips or worse.

Y-a-w-n. Boring. Wasteful. Stupid.


Yeah, cause you don't have one.. I think pistols are boring wasteful
and stupid...

Hey Tom, is your boat gonna' go that frekin' fast? When do I get a
ride? Better yet, can I drive;)??


Probably not - he's got 10 feet and almost 500 horsepower more than I
do. Close though - just rough figures I should be about 60 out of it
at 3/4 throttle which for 32 feet is plenty.

Yeah you can drive it. :)

Boring - unlikely. Stupid - nah.

Wasteful? You create more carbon nattering your political views here
than that boat does running all day long.

May be wasteful, but with quad 300's would not be boring.

Sorta depends on what one finds interesting and exciting. Banging around
at high speeds in a boat doesn't do much for me.
