Thread: Oppinion Wanted, High Speed V-Hull ?

  1. #1
    Stealth Marine
    Looking for personal oppinions, which I am sure I will find PLENTY of here...
    I need an extremely stable 115mph 33-35ft Deep-V Hull.
    This hull will never see off-shore salt-water use, and is intended solely for windy/choppy days on Havasu.
    Ride Quality at speed is the #1 criteria.
    Who makes the smoothest riding fast hull out there??

    Chris when you find it I want a ride
    Maybe the 35' Flame.....
    Never really seen a big V with HUGE power except for Jay's 42' Fountain (which is for sale by the way)
    Oh he's got a 38' Fountain for sale too last I knew. It would need more HP to run 115. I think he said 95 w/575's

    By all rights this guy should be looking for a longer boat.
    BUT...
    He wants to be able to take it through the channel, so he is limiting himself to 35' to make sure he is legal. And considering the size of Lake Havasu, the chop will never get all that bad, so i would think we should be able to find a hull that does what he wants. But I need some input from folks as to what works and where I should be pointing the guy.

    Phantom is probably the fastest IMO. I also like the Nordic Flame or Fountain for Havasu. Here's a link to Phantom and a pichttp://www.phantomboats.com/new/other-images/34-3.gif

    There www site sure doesn't show much interest on the part of the company. Looks like they have not touched it in YEARS...
    The 34 Classic is showing new prices for 2001 !!

    Ya I saw that to, but you asked for the fastest. They are very successful in racing. I think Teague race one for awhile also. If you want to see all the stable big V's then look at the this link. The F2 class has alot of stable proven V's http://www.apbaoffshore.com/teams.cfm
    I'm having built this 32' overall Superboat. I don't know if this will what he's looking for? They also have a 34 but more conventional styling like Pantera.

    I am not sure of fastest, most efficient hull or best handling, but the options I readily know of in NO particular order:
    1. Hustler Cheetah 34'
    2. Shockwave 34'
    3. Laveycrafy NuEra 32'
    4. Nordic Flame 35'
    5. Magic Sorcerer 34' / Sleekcraft 32'
    6. Hallett 360T 36'
    7. Schiada 32' Offshore
    8. Commander 32' Signature / 34' Offshore
    9. Eliminator 340 eagle XP
    I apologize if I left someone off the list, as I am sure I did (no offense intended). Isn't the max in the channel 36' ??

    Yes, I think that is the magic number.
