Any guesses on how well two 400's will push a heavy/loaded 30' deckboat?

Similar deck layout as a Hurricane deck boat but longer.

Question - I love the twin outboard idea, however, how do kids and non-athletic people get in these things? We often have guests who aren't "river people" and always have a hard time getting back on the boat.

Looks to me like that the faux bustle will take care of that problem. However, I don't know how the tie-bar is going to come into play. Might have to the limbo to get in.

Is this going to be built on the 30 speedster bottom or is it going to be based off the 28 deck with a bustle, similar to what they had on their banner at the boat show?

This 30 Speedster is based off the new 30 bottom that was just developed. They widened the bottom for the new 30 IO boat to 120”.

This is just a new top designed for exclusively for outboards.

They made a bunch of changes to rear seating, rear storage and rear bustle.

The rear of the boat steps down and the hatch is lower helping boarding off the rear.

Great looking boat

It’s good to see a eliminator DCB ‘collaboration’. It’s all the rage kids

Both boats are bad ass. Both builders are doing their best to build the latest and greatest.. The bottom line is the consumer is the winner here. Tough choice to be made here.

Wonder how heavy these will be

I would imagine a lot with the rigging, seats, more seats, etc
The seats themselves will be a lot lighter than the extra fiberglass they are cutting out on the hatch, I doubt it will weigh that much different than a standard 28 WTOB speedster.

I’m confused, RD says it’s a 30 while Eliminator is posting it is a 28??
