30' Boat,single Engine 95 Mpw,anyone?

[2forcefull]

Anyone with a 30' boat single n.a. motor(no blower or turbo) that does faster than 95 mph straight from the builder? My last force 29'8" on the second day I owned it, straight from force, did 95 gps,boat and hand held gps,
I was recently told that the 29'8'' force was a very slow bottom and that it didn't handle ruff water as good as a 22' boat, I was kinda confused cause when it got ruff out at lake mead the 22' boats couldn't stay in the water, in fact, everyone that road in my force couldn't believe how smooth it rode, including my wife!!!
I just bought another 29'8" force with a 598 motor, should run over 95(I think)
but anyway, if there is something out there that is better built ,smoother riding, faster, and cheeper , I would like to know about it!!!!

[acatitude]

youve probably narrowed the competition down quite a bit. I dont think there are many other 30 ft boats with singles out are there??

[boatnam3]

not quite sure what the 598 has to do with it...now if you said you were putting together a 850hp 598 big block maybe we can take a guess at some top speed numbers you might run.

[acatitude]

just curious if you had or have a 29 force, now you bought another, the same???

[2forcefull]

My opinion, 95 mph is plenty fast for a recreational use 29'8'' so I think
single power is enough, besides put a blower on it and it will run a buck twenty.
If I was going to go with a twin motor set up I would go with the new 32' canopy that force has, bad as$ boat,

[acatitude]

if there is something out there that is better built ,smoother riding, faster, and cheeper , I would like to know about it!!!!
my HOWARD, lol

[2forcefull]

One 1050 carb.

Yep, it's still hooked up, took it out last tuesday, forgot the reg., and stickers

my howard is cheaper:idea: lol
is it an 07 with canopys

[acatitude]

I think your right RIO, but what the hell its winter here and boring :cry:

[2forcefull]

I think I'm confused. He just bought a boat but he's inquiring about any others that will do the same thing only cheaper. What's he want -a backup?
Personally, I think he has an ulterior motive for this entire thread as was stated earlier.
I'm Mr. Bitchen and it's time I got some attention!
JMHO:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:
Rio
I had 9 boats (this year 06 ) a back up boat is all ways nice

Who did Force splash the bottom of that boat off of???

[acatitude]

now andy, dont argue with a guy who has had 9 boats this year and his final choice was a single engine 30 ft force..... he knows something...:hammerhea

[2forcefull]

awful picky, now your reading more into it. I just answered the question,lol:hammerhea
I think competition has brought the level up a lot in the last two years, Yeah, boats cost alot but, I think you get a lot more for your buck now, and boat companys are work'n on a smaller profet.
Just wondering who has the best single 30' boat
Best price.
Best performance
Best built
Best bang for your buck
( I've been at force snifing resin and drink'n the free punch so my opion don't count, plus I empty'd my wallet :cry: )

[2forcefull]

Who did Force splash the bottom of that boat off of???

LOVE THE 28' DECK BOAT

[acatitude]

well 2forceful, again I say its not a good question till you tell us how many even build a 30 ft single?? and are you talkin cats or v's or both cuzz you cant compare them. And I dont believe you can have best price and best quality, they dont go together. you have to give up something. your not going to get a howard built hull at an american offshore price.. now Im not ragging on anything just saying you have to decide which you want..

[phebus]

I hear ya, I know it's a limited field. thats what I was try'n to find out??
this guy says it takes 200 more horse power to make my boat go as fast as all the other boats the same size and that hot boat did the test. When, and where.
I'm 53 and I don't give a foc if I have the biggest, the fastest, the coolest, or the most expensive, all I want is a boat that I like, and if I don't like it, foc it I'll sell it.
I don't bang on other peoples boats to be "COOL'' or tell anybody to "look at me , look how cool I am when your boat blows up" WTF

[Havasu47]

my last force ran 95 with a force 580/750hp
Seems to me that my 29' open bow force with a 572/725hp ran the best of 82 mph, but just try'n to go off memory.

any way I sold the 95mph boat and bought a 25 nordic, so I don't think speed has much to do with the boat

If not more, love your new boat!!!
Thank you, it works for us. Must be winter.

[beaverretriever]

Im never one to start anything or doubt anyone.
The 95mph number sounds like somthing right off of Force's site. Although they are showing a blown engine.
Sounds like a fun boat. Have fun and be careful.
Read the article about the 29ft cat.
"brawny 800hp carb engine from Teague"
"95.7 on radar"

[2forcefull]

Make up your mind...
Then why did you start a thread about a 30ft boat that does 95 ? :rolleyes:
It was a question that was ask'd of me at the lake, the guy walk'd up at the dock and said, nice boat how fast does it go? I said I don't know hav'nt run it yet, but the last one I had run 95 with less horse power, then he said, how big is it, and I said 29'. then he said this boat should run way over a hundred,I said well I don't think it will. then he said it sounds alfull slow, and I said oh well.
that being the second time I had heard that in as many days, made me wonder, How fast should it go? I'm sure it's not the fastest cause I know that bullhead bullys boat went 98 in the river!
once again I say I don't care how fast it goes, just wondering

[2forcefull]

Thank you, it works for us. Must be winter.
hey get my back would ya, did I or did I not try to sell you my nordic

Well I kinda went south of the intention,
kinda like a guy with a 30' motor home, ask'n what kind of
gas milage everyone else was gett'n and how fast do they go up baker grade!
but then everyone got all piss'y and no one said anything about how fast there single engine 29' boat goes
threads are like address, they are to those they are threaded to.
ie. people with 30' boats or people that can contribute to the thread,
great fun, what else would you be doing:cry: :cry: :cry:

[Mrs.Killer]

You don't have to many people you can say that too..............
Said it to your last boat and didnt even break a sweat doing it....

[MR HARLEY]

anything about how fast there single engine 29' boat goes
My DCB F-29 full walk thru with a (Single) Ilmor 625 does a whopping 84mph at 5500 rpm...Still trying to get the additional 600 rpm out of it to really see how fast it will run.

[MR HARLEY]

Said it to your last boat and didnt even break a sweat doing it....
I think I just heard the bell ring.(Somebody just got schooled) :D

Lets just say I should have got Twins. :hammerhea
I have a full walk thru. (Not closed), and I would need more hp to see that number.
A F-29 with single Teague 800 will see that number..
thats about where I'm at 825 hp, should do around 95, the boats at force right now getting the big tube headers tak'n off. to much pipe for a carbed motor
don't you think you might as well get the 30 or 32, just a thought?

I'm picking up the customer's car this weekend (here in Vegas). I'll shoot you some photos and spec's when I get them.

[acatitude]

sounds good Im not looking to buy outright, would just consider a partial trade if someone wants a 26 cat

[unleashed]

I had a 29 force open bow...ran 90 with 740hp. The Force is a shallow tunnel and takes more hp to get bigger numbers....its no secret. That being said...its one of the more stable cats out there. The 29 DCB and 28 Eliminator will get higher numbers with lesser HP. They are all nice boats. The last 3 years I have had plenty of fun spanking the more "expensive" boats at the river...but hey...I paid for the HP....LOL!:D :D

I think this Naturally aspirated clause is decieving... a 600 CID NA motor can easily make 800+hp who cares if it is blown power or not??? you want a fast boat that will run good with around 800 hp a vacume bagged F-29 with a single teague 800 will run 105mph+

[andy01]

Said it to your last boat and didnt even break a sweat doing it....
LOL, not what I heard but then again that was my last boat.......... care to talk the talk with my new boat? How many lowers are you buying for next season? And my old boat was what 4 feet longer with the same power? Come on you can do better then that.... :hammerhea

Unleashedclothing (http://www.unleashedclothing.com):crossx:
Yeah, Thats what I keep hearing, Guess I wasn't wording it right. ok Deano, you ran 90 in a open bow right, with 740 hp, the dcb ran 86 with 625hp, I ran 95 with a closed bow 750 hp, so what 30'boat will go 95 with 550hp, I don't know all the different boats,and there speeds vs hp but i have heard that more than once that the force is the slow'r running but the fastest to plane. just lately I heard the 200 hp storie, so I though that I would ask about the differant boats
now for the eliminator that I ran against, twin motors, 850 hp,I went around him with I motor 750 hp, he said that he was runnig the best of 86 that day in the heat, he is a friend of mine and he said that his boat ran the best of100+I ran best of 92 that day 2 people full tanks, thats 6mph faster with 75 less hp.
anyway not try'n hurt any feelings or piss anyone off, just curious?
does anyone with a single 550 hp motor 30' cat run 95 mph, keeping with the 200 hp story, and wanting to hear from other 30' cat sinle motor boats and their numbers, does that make since?

[2forcefull]

I also heard,( wasn't there or in the boat) that my boat when it had the 800hp teaque blower motor ran 119 mph, so I would like to know if there was ever any kind of test done buy hot boat where they compared the boats on the same day with the same hp.
what would be cool, Is if they would have a scale, measure the boat, check the prop hp. and put the boats in the water on the same day and compare
kinda like a manufacture shoot out where every thing is checked, weight, size and hp.
I've allways wondered whats to stop a boat manufacture from doing a lite layup to get the bigger numbers, also whats to stop them from say'n that its a stock 425 hp motor, when it's really a 652 hp motor that they use only to test to get the bigger numbers :idea:

[shadow]

just curious?
does anyone with a single 550 hp motor 30' cat run 95 mph, keeping with the 200 hp story, and wanting to hear from other 30' cat sinle motor boats and their numbers, does that make since?
Doesn't make any sence what so ever!I would be willing to bet you will not find any 30' cat single engine 550hp that will run 95mph,doesn't matter who the manufacture is.
Got any other hypothetical questions?

wasn't really hypothetical, I got told that it takes 200 more hp to make a 30' force go as fast as the other boats, my self I call B.S. but hey what do I know, I don't go around "on the water testing" all the boats.
seems like when I was on the water running next to the boats, I could run away from most of the 20 mph faster boats

Than where does a 30' cat with 550hp come from.After owning as many boats as you have you should know the answer to that question without asking.
If you are curious because you heard it takes 200hp more in a Force to go the same mph as other manufactures,just ask that question.
I highly doubt it takes Force 200 additional hp to hit the same speeds as other manufactures same size range and bottom type.I call BS as well to whoever told you that.:)

[2forcefull]

OK, OK ,OK!!!!
BOY DID I SCREW THIS UP:hammerhea
Went back and read the post again,
he said hot boat tested the 26 daytona against the 29'8'' force
and was able to run the same speed with 150-200 hp less,,:confused:

[2forcefull]

So a better question is,
What manufactures offer a 30' cat with a single motor?
how fast?
how much HP?

Make alittle more sense and to the point.:wink:
I'd say most are 28' & 29' don't know if any body sells a 30' with a single(cat).
Don't think they'd be a big seller.

my buddy just bought a new 27, got it with a mid cabin open bow, he loves it, that boat is deep!!! he has drop out bolsters!!!! he put the 525 power, don't know how fast it goes he runs it to about 60 and cruises

Lets face it your boat isn't what you think it is and yes even if you did pass my old boat after I sold it, it's way taller, 4' 4" longer then your 25 and change DCB with the SAME O/B Power. So if I raced you with a smaller boat (same power), it should be faster? But from facts I heard was the race was dead on and you had to raise your motors to make it faster, because you were runnin 90 mph in a 26 with two 300X's on the back???? I know what your boat will run, If I were you I wouldn't walk around with my chest pumped out over 105 mph.
You didn't aswner the other question, how many lower units did you buy for next season?
Remember at the end of the day you still only have a F26 with 300X's on the back................. there are many many many rigged and built just like it, it's not a one off built boat........

I agree F26's suck and so do all their owners Especially ones that just popped out of the mold....
Again facts you have no clue about...
And my engines ARE STILL LOWER THAN ALL OTHERS MADE, THAT IS A FACT....
So your longer, deeper sponson(WHICH CREATES MORE TOP END SPEED) lighter boat lost to a shitty ass DCB F26. Your right what was I thinking. As of yet I have not bought any drives and last year needed no replacement. Again this year will be the same.

I wouldn't say all F26 owners suck, yes you may talk all the shit you like about me and the F I am building. You will be behind me like always.......
So a 46' Skater with 300's is faster on the top end? Because it has a long lifting area? Agian your boat knowledge makes no sense.

Yep...300's are about as "hot roddish" as the four bangers in Toyota Camrys.

What about SuperBoats?
Not that it matters at this point in the thread:hammerhea , But I was wondering the same thing. The Superboat Y2K30(vee-bottom) is aweful fast, and I am sure it would run in the mid 90's with a n/a motor. I am sure there is more than one out there doing it, EFI of course. But I can't imagine building a new 06 boat with a carb on it, unless of course you didnt care about the resale:( ? Although it will keep the purchase price down!:)

[rrrr]

I think the guy's boat is fast because it's light. He's too much of a dick to attract passengers. :crossx:

[ECeptor]

What about SuperBoats?
One of our board members has a Superboats Y2K that ran mid-90's on a single NA 598 CARB motor - boat brand new right out of the box. Never did hear what it got to with some tuning and prop testing. The Y2K buildup. (http://www.***boat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80029&highlight=superboats)
And it's a V bottom! :supp:
I'm not sure the price, but based on some of their models I'd say one could be set up for 100k, give or take a little.

Ok, so I took the force out today, lake was glass, no wind
It ran 94 mph with a 28p 4 blade, @ 6000 rpms hitting the rev limit
I stopped at R&R and bought a 30p from kevin on the way home.
if it's not freeze'n tomorrow I'll give it a try!

Magic is doing good, finally has enough power to run "properly".
Yeah the LP with twins is still my favorite, perfect size for the lake and traditional styling. Wouldn't mind owning one of those myself!
2forceful, great results! Good slip numbers and sounds like your setup is working well.

thanks, I know I'm going to loose about 5mph to the vegas heat when it comes, maybe the 30p will make up for it, my last force ran 95 with 60 less hp

Anyone with a 30' boat single n.a. motor(no blower or turbo) that does faster than 95 mph straight from the builder? My last force 29'8" on the second day I owned it, straight from force, did 95 gps,boat and hand held gps,
I was recently told that the 29'8'' force was a very slow bottom and that it didn't handle ruff water as good as a 22' boat, I was kinda confused cause when it got ruff out at lake mead the 22' boats couldn't stay in the water, in fact, everyone that road in my force couldn't believe how smooth it rode, including my wife!!!
I just bought another 29'8" force with a 598 motor, should run over 95(I think)
but anyway, if there is something out there that is better built ,smoother riding, faster, and cheeper , I would like to know about it!!!!
I’m a little :confused: are we talking about a 30’ or a 29’8” ? :D

I just bought another 29'8" force with a 598 motor, should run over 95(I think)
but anyway, if there is something out there that is better built ,smoother riding, faster, and cheeper , I would like to know about it!!!!

Tunnel boats are for sissies anway :rolleyes:

[BajaMike]

I think I'm confused. He just bought a boat but he's inquiring about any others that will do the same thing only cheaper. What's he want -a backup?
Personally, I think he has an ulterior motive for this entire thread as was stated earlier.
I'm Mr. Bitchen and it's time I got some attention!

I seen my boat was mentioned earlier here. Time to heat up the forum. If I remember he was comparing a cat to a V in the 30' range. Here's some specs:
Superboat Y2K V bottom
31'7" overall
30' bottom
801.7 HP 598 @ 6000rpm
94 mph gps on a stock Bravo1 32p. in Havasu about 95 degrees. I think it was at 5250 rpm if I remember correctly, which is low for my engine. The prop was to big for this combo. Now I run a 28 or 30 for pleasure. I have not exceeded this number as I always have 4-5 people and coolers on board. I'm comfortable knowing it's one of the fastest single 30+ foot V boats around so I don't tweek this or that for an extra few mph. With a good prop and a salt water run I bet I would be edging triple digits with a light load.
I'm done.

We should be testing a normally aspirated 625 here in a couple of days that will do over 95...
It is only 29'6" LOA though, 27' without the swimstep. That is with the stereo and batteries too... With a lighter one we could probably be going over 100 with the same setup.
Why does it have to be a 30'?

[FASTERDAMITT]

How many performance real 30' singles do you see? Especially on the west coast. Overall there's only a few. Can you name any that does 90+?
99% are really 27-28' as you said. Should be less weight, less wetted surface, faster but handle big water like a 27. There are exceptions to the rule. The Lavey 2750 does very well offshore.

[SHOTKALLIN]

was it Powerboat Mag tested a 30' WATERROD with a single Teague 800 or 900 and GPS was 94 MPH:eek: They called it the fastest single engine V hull tested.

I am pretty sure the fastest single engine V tested in the BULLET!!!! I could be wrong though

I think that was from ***boat magazine

I do believe the Howard would kick but on most V's until the water gets big. Then I would put my money on a true deep V without a pad bottom. If you can't keep the prop in the water it's irrelevant how much power or size advantage there is. Even Havasu can kick up some good size chop on a big weekend.
I'm open for correction if I'm wrong here.
The Waterrod is a 28' with a swimstep.

The Howard is a 26.5 or 27 with a step.

Just so ya know I'm not partial to Superboat. Here's a well thought out rig.
Activator 29.9 or 28 with a step. They report 112 with 950HP

Here is the Activator 27
