Curious as to how this boat will work in real water conditions.... aka. Big blue. Can’t wait for a report.

So you can pin a 450 right out of the box? The 300XS ecu would keep the revs down during break in period and slowly allow them to creep up after hours got on the engine.

You guys and Bully sure have made a few nice boats!

So..... Just curious..... Why the incorrect temr used when called a "true tunnel"? They are ALL tunnels, center pod, modVP, etc.... I do think most are thinking of the term "True Cat" as in it's a true catamaran since there is no center pod or sponson.

So how about we use the correct terms "true cat" or "full tunnel" (as in full width tunnel)?

Damn. That CG is tighter than a frogs butt hole! Zero porpoise. Looks great. Congrats.
That's the way a cat is supposed to carry itself right there. That's an awesome boat.

It was only turning 6k per merc. (They really didn't open it up.)

Limiter on the 450's is 6400.


With my 400r, yea.... let er chew.....7k all day...

Nothing in the ECU to govern anything.
Just the recommended break in procedure in the manual.

Excuse my ignorance in advance. Why is a Full Width Tunnel better than say a Center Pod Tunnel?
