F26 / Mach 26

[NeedlesRat]

Yes they are,

Did you just pull the X power head and drop the XS power heads on the existing mid and lower?

That boat has been sold 3 or 4 times in the past 2 years. The OG owners had it for sale for 65k epic lifestyle bought it. It at a clean boat I may have gone with a different color interior personally. But whoever bought it must like red lol.

I believe it to be a wrap, Epic Lifestyle’s posted it the other day so i assume it is either for sale or will be super soon. I know it’s sexy.

How fast is a f26 with 800 hp inboard. At DS a guy was mourned next to his f32 at the heat that had a f29 with a 700sci and he said his best was 109 mph. Curious how much faster a 26 would be

Also curious how much hp the 26 needs to break 100mph with 4 passenger.

I have an M26 with a 525. Best I’ve seen is low 80’s. I’m guessing you would need to be in that 700+ horsepower range to see 100mph.

Beautiful Mach!

I’d say your estimate is spot on. Back in the magazine days it seemed like 750hp was the magic number for most 26’-27’ cats to break the 100mph mark.

Mine is a 500efi with an early whipple, I'd guess 600hp. Itll run mid 90s with two of us, good amount of fuel and all our crap

1100hp here and touched the century mark on a full tank. Need a calmer weekend and a lifeline if Im going to take it past that. Im curious to see what itll go when ringing her out

I’ve broke 100 by 1-3 mph, but typically close to full of fuel, being ProCharged i don’t make boost for planing, but with a 30p yesterday i saw 98 with 800hp. There’s a few F29’s with the 700’s and they run honest 93-96, to get the 109 sounds like a little fable even with a stage 3 unless low fuel and nothing in the boat.

I’m certain i can pull bigger numbers if i took everything out of the ski locker, etc (2 anchors, 2 sand spikes ropes inflatables ladidadida) but that’s too much effort for a brag.

Yours being an open bow probably scrubs 3-5mph too.

What size boat? I can’t remember if he had a stage 3 or 4 but it was a nxt-1 with a 32P prop

Mines a 26, the one you’re talking about same green blue and silvers but different design as mine? Also a midcuddy?

Sounds like the guy i bought my boat from.

Pretty standard rule, 100 up per 10 mph. Good starting place. Been in several mach 26's, Daytona 25's at well over 100(116) and the math plays out. Takes about 880 to cross 110

700sci at stage 3 is 865 hp. Stage 4 is 910

Also I bet a nxt torpedo is a lot more efficient then bravo based prop drive on drag

Spot on. I’m around 700-750hp supposedly and I’ve ran 95 with 4 people and around 3/4 fuel. Closed bow.

so at 1100hp I should be between 120-130? Mach 26

 

[Joe mama]

My Mach had 600 ponies and best I saw was 90 with 32 lab

1100hp should get you 120+ in a correctly setup closed bow

 

[ChrisV]

Stars needs to align. lol

 

[ChrisV]

Why does some have drive extensions and some dont? Some concept as outboards? Gives it more bow lift?

Not a setup expert but I believe it has something to with with leverage and cleaner water.

Plus it’s just cool

Where did this boat go?

 

[PlanB]

850 hp in our Mach 26 ran 109mph. Twin 2.5's (280's) in our other Mach 26 ran 103mph.

 

[ChrisV]

850 hp in our Mach 26 ran 109mph. Twin 2.5's (280's) in our other Mach 26 ran 103mph.

which one accelerates quicker?

 

[Blackmagic94]

850 hp in our Mach 26 ran 109mph. Twin 2.5's (280's) in our other Mach 26 ran 103mph.

So they are same speed as a f29 with similar power

 

[PlanB]

I never stood on the I/O out of the hole because it would have eaten the drive quickly. My O/B Mach was actually the fastest accelerating boat when Hot Boat tested it along with a bunch of other boats in their shootout.

I don't know anything about the F29.

 

[CammdSS]

So @ChrisV dont break your mach26 it aint no 1.2 60'
