Sorry, I guess I could lie and say I got busy, to tell the truth, beginning about May 28th I spent 4 days in ICU and a total of 16 days in St. Pats with an infection in my left lung cavity that spread throughout my bloodstream, called septic, and took a while recuperating. I was given a 5% chance of survival, proves the old saying that the good die young. I lost track of this thread, sorry. All is well now, thanks to my Lord, Jesus Christ.
OK, here goes.
Empty hull, 6 gallons gas, start battery, 200 pound human:
With the 16 pitch Yamaha propeller
Plane time 2.4 seconds
0-30 time 12.0 seconds
Top speed 47 mph at 6150 rpm
Loaded hull with 3 batteries, trolling motor, 2 men, fishing gear
Plane time 3.2 seconds
0-30 time 13.5 seconds
Top end 42 mph at 6150 rpm
22 pitch 12" diameter Quicksilver Cleaver race propeller/did not adjust motor height for cleaver/EMPTY HULL
Plane time 5.0 seconds
0-30 time 14 seconds
top end 59.5... I can't give you the rpm's, I was too busy to look.
Driver, that would be me, ran out of talent and got out of the throttle. It is an arm breaker with a cleaver, pulls like a tractor. I can hold it for about a minute, then I'm done. This is really a useless number anyway, if you run a cleaver, you're racing, not fishing.
If you want or need more info "EXCEPT FOR PRICE", I am available, just shoot me a PM and I'll get with you and tell you almost everythingI know about these boats. I have consulted for LegendCraft for a couple years now on this hull. So at this time, I stand to gain or lose nothing if these boats sell or don't. I just really feel that these are superior performing boats compared to what was available before this hull was produced and they are sold by the best dealer in the south. I have known Gerald Link for nearly 30 years, he has always been more than fair with me. And Thank God, his son Kyle is just like Gerald when it comes to treating folks fair.
