Can anyone out there that has this setup prove my good friend wrong? He dosn't believe me. I won't say his name because he's a big fan of Eliminator and his name starts with TOM. This is for a couple cases of beer so I need some good input. :argue:

Wild Lavey (Nick), will give ya the scoop. ;)
I've personally been mid-80s with 4 full size adult males in the 2750 Poker Run Edition w/ a 525merc.

Thanks, I got the same set up as that Poker Run 2750 on mine. I could say it will do at least 80 mph. with the 525 EFI. considering it has the openbow. What size prop was the Poker Run spinning?

I think Nick runs at 70 with ease. Maybe call Lavey?

Thanks, but I want my friend to see the response from Customers, not hear it from the Manufacturer. You know what I mean? Oh, and by the way his name begins with the letter TOM!

Chris's "Poker Run Edition" I was in is a very light boat with no interior to speak of forward of the cabin door. It's basically the sister boat of the F-11 2750 race boat. I do not know what prop they were spinning. We were on Mead, and I think we were 84-85 with the 4 of us on board. I don't know what our fuel load was, but I think it was closer to full than empty.
With an open-bow, you're probably going to be very close to 80 IMO, with good conditions. 2750 hard-deck seems to be a better running boat than the open-bow, probably mainly because it has better CG. It's such a close call though, that I think it's a good bet. ;) .....and make no mistake, when it's time for me to step up to a longer boat, it'll be the 2750!!! :cool:

I just put a 26 on my 24 Nuera w/ a 496 HO and gained 2 mph to 71.6 mph. The 24 was hitting the rev limter with 1/4 of the throttle left. Who knows what it'll do when its laved.

The one I saw looked like a pleasure version. That fast bottom must make it tough to beach at the Turtle, though.

That's the fully enclosed Super Vee Limited boat. Jeff showed me the plug for the top when I was there in March. I don't remember the time frame, but I'd guess it'll be racing next season, or perhaps in the fall. I really like the lines of the boat and long deck. The rules of Super Vee Limited call for the cockpit to be fully enclosed. They are using another builders roof/enclosure system (I can't remember who's off-hand), but it's been incorporated into the new 32 beautifully. The deck is long and looks awesome.
Look for LaveyCraft SVL 11 Racing near you soon!!! ;)

They are using the 2750 hull with the new SVL deck. The mold is just about ready and they've already sold a pleasure version ... Convertible-style! :cool:

Hey Ray, you had the MAG HO in your 2750 at one time. What prop and how fast?

We were spinning a labbed 26 prop and saw 70 mph on GPS, with similar results as Wild Lavey sees. In the ocean and cool months of Havasu were the best for our set-up back then. Otherwise, it was a solid 68 mph all summer long. Not bad for all the crap ... errr, equipment we have in the boat. :squiggle:
Nick,
the deck is not out yet. The first one is Kevin's and he's hoping to race late this season. The second one will be the pleasure version. Maybe we can hit 'em up on swapping out our decks. :D :D :D

I got the 525 on my 2750 open bow spinning a 26 and I'm seeing pretty close to 77 mph with almost 100 gal. of fuel, 4 adults and 3 children and still had a little more rpm to play with. Didn't want to push it with the kids in the boat even though the ride was smooth. Do you recommend sizing up on the prop?

try a 28, 26 is too small for the 525 imo.

I too think a 28 would be a better prop. I ran a labbed 28 for a season and was seeing 77-78 @5100 with a full load of bodies, beer, and fuel running an HP500EFI. I recently had a Whipple installed and put a Hydromotive P5X(5 blade) on it. Trying it June 7,8,9, at Parker. We'll see.
