your pics aren't working for me.
That's amazingly light for a 31'8" boat. How much more for the race hull - $6k?
Hows this?
Race construction 3 to $4000.

3-4k is a no-brainer for the lighter hull.
So, what are you estimating the 750hp will get you...85mph?
Too bad I didn't live closer to Palm Springs, I'd insist on doing a pre-delivery inspection on her when she was finished!
Like I said earlier...great boat....I'm jealous!
85? There seeing low 80's with the HP525. 74mph with the 496HO. Nobody's sure on mine, because of thiers so many different setups out there. I think "Dirty Cash" race boat has 750hp and is running around a 100. He's a older design non stepped hull, but has it dialed in. There's a couple of others with similar power and running low 90's with Imco shorties or Speedmaster drives. I think thier prop is too high to keep the bow up.http://www2.***boat.com/image_center...78r30dirty.jpg
i thought i might be a bit low, but didn't realize I was that low!
I plugged the 496HO and 525 numbers into the speed calculator I use (sqrt( power/weight)*constant). If I assume you'll have 700hp at the prop, you should be running solid in the mid 90's. That's damn fast for a single engine v-hull!
I read somewhere that the Y2K does indeed run faster with a deeper x dimension. The seems to be a sweet spot there somewhere
R U in So cal?
Home is Wichita, KS but in Vegas right now for business for a couple days.
I was thinkin I could through a leg over that bike of yours for a few minutes in trade for a few minutes of Superboat seat time. My office is across the street from the mountains and you know that means twisties!
