Yeah probably more than 8 hours between everything.
It’s amazing how awesome the river is when Bullhead is close. I think they should leave it closed and keep all the rental dumb ass idiot stupid people locked up. (Covid numbers are so much better with BHC closed :p ) Love it!!

I wanna go that’s awesome

Now I am confused, lol. So, the Liberator in the pic with the Yamaha is not yours, mbrown2? You have one with a 300 Merc? That is awesome. I would love to get together with you guys with all pretty much same size, length, hulls and go run.

The Yamaha Lib above does 90?

I'm not sure what the Skater reference was either. I am all over the map!

Yes... diff boats.. diff owners just the timing of the posts and closeness of colors led to the confusion... the yami is a 21 liberator... mine a 22... diff decks... same bottom.

What a great video! Didn't you have an outboard DCB back in the day? Open bow? I just picked up my 21 Daytona with twins and I am loving it.
Yeah...had so many boats lose track. Had a F26 built with twins...Fun boat and loved running it on the lake but eventually came to the thought....any boat I get I want to be able launch, dock, and manage by myself....the 26 was a bit too big for Parker and managing docking by yourself with the current it was easier with 2 people...so from there went through a Schiada v drive and just recently a Mirage....got rid of the Mirage for the Liberator...so far so fun...and small enough to manage alone..

Yeah...Randy Corson out of Florida sets up these Liberators to run fast... ...He consistently gets 112 out of the 21 and the 22 with 300r's on them. He uses the 5 blade cleaver signature; I have the same prop 34 pitch...With the 400R he got 116 same prop.....and the 450 I seem to recall 125ish with the similar prop.... Boat behaves extremely well.

going from 300R to verado 400HP only nets you 4mph?

I guess it depends on the boat, day, weather ect....but in Randy's limited testing that is what came out...Here are some really interesting links to watch and read and get an understanding of differences....but the torque and acceleration of the 300r vs the 400r is noticeable and the 400R weighs more. These boats live/die by weight...add a person lose 5mph....

21 w 300R - 112

22 w 400R - 116

22 w 450R - 122

I had a Mirage myself! Fun little guy. Yeah, 112 is amazing what you are getting. I love my Daytona. Getting a bimini built for it tomorrow and then having a windshield built that is 2" taller to help with the wind. They accelerate like a rocket.

Does anyone have a video or more info on the 450Rs exhaust system? (The two modes) I can't find much about it? Is it a button in the vessel view or?? I have two 450s coming and would like to know more about it.
Thanks Skydog
