JCPERF,
Do you know if any have been done with a Merc 525 or a Merc 496 as of yet???? Curious to see the kind of performance it gets with Factory power-plants in it. Any idea on how the customer said it handle??? Going fast in a straight line is one thing but being able to turn it is another as I am sure you know.
Thanks,
DPT

Understood.
It's my thread so I felt like I could post whatever I wanted to.
Knowing that the 27 was (and still is) a dominant force in the offshore ranks, the 299 could only be that much better. I think a showdown between the new Extreme and the 299 is in order. That is of course, after we see the pics of the new 299 Activator.
I have to admit it has been a total "skunkworks project" without much publicity.

I have seen the boat and it does exist
I've seen it up close and I would still like to see some pictures posted. It looks like a 27 on steroids. The boat is way different than the 27, much bigger with big steps. The running surface is pretty much the same as a 27, so it handles very well.
