Default Re: This looks like a steal

hate to tell you but you could put 500 hp on the back it won't go a lot faster. A boats hull when designed is made to have so much surface at speed and it's also built to go so fast and they usually won't go alot faster no matter what. My neighbor is a design engineer at Parker and said they make a 18 ft boat that is rated usually for 1 200 hp and it will run 52 MPH and that the coast guard buys the same boats but has them build the boat to hold twin 200's and the 18 ft with twin 200's only ran when tested 54 MPH lol both the 200's were 4 stroke Yamaha's. They tried the same 18 ft too with twin 300 hp Yamaha's and it still only ran 59 MPH all on radar guns too. HP doesn't mean lots of speed.
