I just got the boat in the water today for the first time. It's the first 30 Liberator with outboards. Twin 300XS motors. We ran it around a small local lake to break it in. Took it up to 90 mph, but motors are too high. It would lose water pressure and had 22% slip. I'll take it on a 100 mile run Friday and lower the motors. Awesome handling with absolutely NO HOP due to it's centerpod. The pod is 10" higher than the outside sponsons. This boat has the best of everything. The upholstery alone was $14,000, but it does have a full front cabin and five ft of room between the front and rear seats. 2000 watt stereo too. Here's some pics and videos from today. This boat is $152,000.

Liberator in Texas has done four I/o's. Two singles and two twins. This is the first outboad boat. They have the same hull as mine, but I do all the custom stuff myself. I buy just the bare hulls on all the Liberators I sell.
The dash is red marble like this one.

Just so I can add fuel to my fire. Can you give me X Dimension (above bottom start point)

I have the motors on 12" jackplates and the boat has a 14" notch built in. I had the shaft centers 2" above the bottom measuring directly in front of the motor. I now have lowered the 1.5". In a slight turn the pressure came back up, but not going straight. We're gonna take a 100 mile run tommorrow if it does'nt rain.

Well we finally did the run. Ran the first 46 miles at 80 mph nonstop. Boat cruises awesome. Still working on the setup. Runs 90 mph right now. Here's a video from today. The guy driving was test driving it. He ended up buying it. Gave me a $30,000 deposit. I gotta keep the boat for the winter, but I get to demo it. We also went to Silver Glen Springs here in Florida, where the water is 72 degrees 365 days a year. Crystal clear!Here's the Vid.

The camera is a little pocket digital camera, not a regular video camera.
