What is the fastest 29 Outlaw you know of?
The question has been asked about how fast a 29 Outlaw can go. I've seen the supposed 90 MPH one that was/is for sale. Do you personally know of any running over 90?

I would say yours is going to be one of the fastest!
I have seen a lot of 29's running in the 80+ MPH range.
All hulls have their limitation. Just not sure where that magic number is on the 29.

My question is. How would the 29OL run with drive trims set at 4-5 rather than 7-8 for max speed. I assume this has to plays a part in how a boat stays planted.
When I trim to 7-8 any littel swell and I am chinew walking and usually back off throttles.
As some know I am close to pulling the trigger on a 35 Donzi ZR. I have not rode in one but been speaking with alot of folks and a Donzi Rep. He claimed I would not be trimming a ZR over 5. Him and my Local boat rep claim the same Baja needs alot of trim for Max speed. I dont know so dont argue.
I know when I trim...... my stern does lift out of the water big time.
Not trying to hijack just trying to understand some facts on speed.

Donzi is a stepped hull. They run more level and don't need as much trim. Baja, the old Cigs, Apaches, etc without steps require you to get the bow UP which means leverage from the drives IE TRIM.
As for the trim number, don't let that confuse you. Every boat is different. A #5 on one boat can be equal to a #7 on another. I have mine adjusted the way I like them and I know my boat. I could get in another 36 and the trim indicator be entirely different at equal speeds.
