Default Check out this thing! 23' Seacraft 600hp 96mph!
Look what I found . I'm not allowed to paste a "For Sale" ad


Twin Merc 300xs (which I think are known to put out 320hp on dyno) on a 23cc!?

Owner claims 84kts.

Seems to sit ok with that weight on bracket.

Well Michael, here's the deal. When I was younger I wouldn't be scared at all, however when you get to be an old fart good sense and the fear of getting your guts splattered all over the water overrides questionable adventures.

Speculate cruise is therefore around 55 mph, guessing fuel burn around 25 p/hr.

That speed equates to 96mph.... sorry I'm calling BS. There are equally powered hulls out there that are built for speed that don't get near that.

You woosie......

Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, whats one more pair of vise grips to
go 90++ MPH...

Two pairs on that SeaStar is all that would be needed to keep a straight
line in the ICW !!

Your guts being splattered all over a channel marker would not matter
at this point....

Agreed Don & Mike
Btw: Rooster Tail by way of jack plates.
Way too much weight on that fantail.

With all due respect Ken...
I took the hook out of my 20 SF when re-habbing and bolted
a heavily modified 200 HP carbed Merc that hits 64 MPH with
a light load at top end WOT !!!

So a 23 with more then three times the ponnies doing 90 MPH is
not out of range...

Just my 2¢ worth...
