Thats awesome I would love to get to experience that. I guess next question is whats the rebuild time for a 1350, and then how much time does it shave off of that using the 1550 fob?
Id also love to get some first hand info from Tony on how much noticeable difference is there when it goes from 1350 to 1550 mode. Is it an eye opening difference where you go "wow", or is it just enough to notice but nothing that leaves you in disbelief. My father and uncle were professional...
I understand there is a separate 30 gallon tank for the 112 octane. But they share the same fuel lines to the engine, thats why Tony said its up to the driver to make sure the 91 is clear of the lines and the 112 is in the lines before switching to the 1550 fob. Thats why I am trying to...
Hey Tony,
Revisiting this thread after you posted the Red M29 getting the 1550 yesterday. Was curious how do you know when the remaining 91 has cycled through and the 112 has fully entered the fuel system (what notifies you of this).
Also I see you say the computer and engine wont protect...
Revisiting this thread Dave.... I am currently trying to sell my 28 Daytona LP. Want to do my first new build with Eliminator. I am set on the twin Merc 700/6 drive package. I originally was only thinking about a 33X Speedster, until I saw the green and orange 28 Speedster they built last year...
Just wondering so does that mean they cant fit the QC4 1100's into a 33X Speedster? I would think they could since they have put them in 27 speedsters already. As well as they put twin Teague 1400's in the McKee 33X Speedster.
I agree the boat you get now from them compared to even 3 years ago is night and day difference in fit and finish in my opinion. Definitely evolving fast.
Paint looks amazing, power package is great as well. By the way I will be buying this boat when it goes up for sale in two years. I will report back when this occurs.
Not sure because the 33X already has a bustle, and this is suppose to be a 35X. I asked but didn't get a response if its 33ft of running surface and then 2ft of bustle. Im assuming the 33X is 31ft of running surface and 2ft of bustle. Both boats look identical also not sure if the beam is the...
That'll take your breath away. I commend you for uploading this, often times people wont mention the bad stuff even though they should. Would like to know what caused this or if it was multiple things. Also glad it didn't make contact with the hull when it separated that boat is beautiful would...
Your buddy Albert owns a great boat, but I will say this 27 Speedster with the 1100 has changed ownership somewhere around 4-6 times in total since it was built for Shane Gray. The new owner of the 27 with the 1350 also use to own the 27 with the 1100 that your buddy Albert now owns. So he didnt...
Exhaust comes out of the Transom higher nothing to do with the drive at all. It is due to the height of the Merc 1350 and needing to be straight piped off the turbos. Any angle changes in the pipes coming off the turbos would have caused a number of issues in power reduction. This is info...
I do believe the "orange" one you are referring to is a 28 Speedster they did with a single engine 1350/M8 Setup. Was the first and last they wont do a single engine 28 speedster anymore because of how many issues they had with that boat. I was told directly in an email I still have they will...
Great pics. I have always wondered why the shop doesn't share detailed photos of the builds. They will post photos here and there but nothing detailed. It would keep customers and most importantly FUTURE CUSTOMERS a lot more engaged. "Shueman" used to share so frequently and everybody here loved...
You get it for sure, I feel like for most people they are so excited to get a boat that all they think about is the power and color and everything else is a complete afterthought once its too late. I honestly think thats why I see so many of these boats on the market for sale less than a year...
Right on man very valid points. Im more of a run it up to 140 for 20 seconds and backer down to 80 type of guy, even though my current daytona tops out at 112mph. I have bounced back and forth between the going all out and doing a twin engine 33x speedster or M35 for a long time, but then I...
