How heavy is the boat? Seems one nice thing about these toons is they are light in size compared to glass boats.

It kind of fun blowing past the Baja guys in a toon

The boat weighs almost 8k LBS,

I know this is an old thread, but I have the same boat, I bought mine new last year. Curious what you ended up with. My engines won’t get past 6200 RPM with the props it came with. Did you raise your X at all from the way it came?

Thanks!

Seriously though...looks like fun!

Agreed! There’s nothing cool about a Any Toon Boat no matter how fast. It’s like taking Dads Station Wagon and LS swapping it. Still a Station Wagon😁
