I'm sure the Midnight would be popular in Miami I can't keep the coasties of of me here. I can only imagine what there going to do when that black hull goes by them at dusk with the blue leds lighting up the rooster tail.

I am guessing cruise speed of 50-60 mph may be more my buddy is hitting 85 top end with his way heavier older Midnight with quad 300s.
. I can only estimate that I will be equal if not faster weighing in at around 4k less.
So lets estimate 60mph cruise at 60 -80 gallons an hour roughly anywhere from 600 -480 ??
Full throttle hoping 80- 90 mph 110 gallons an hour yikesssss
so still approx 600 miles at 80 mph ,,,,hmmmm so I should run fulll throttle all the time!!
But I only need to go Noventa Millas!!!!!

Yes I have gone thru that many times. Kind of gives me a chubby. Can you imagine your boat with 4 of those on it? I would think 95-100 mph? I can't wait to some consumers get those motors this fall and see how fast they really run. Did you hear the clip of the cig top fish with 3 of those on it that someone posted from the Miami show? Sounds very nice.
I don't think my boat would run well with the verados too much weight.
There's a guy in Florida that did exactly that. He has an older CC lke my first and took off optis ( I have the old bracket, he had a bracket made especially for the quad verados) He then put on quad 275s I think .
Apparently he can't get the ass end out of the water. Not enough flotation in this type bracket. Another words with this much weight you really need an integrated style transom .

Well 3 of the 350s would be the ticket on your boat. I would think it would weigh about the same or less than quad 250s. Also less drag in the water. Of course those motors are going to be priced pretty high. I would think that 3 of them and all the rigging to go along with them would be close to $100,000.

Oh, I know 100K for motors woww! OUt of my league. You would not believe what I have in my entire boat.............just can't spend that much dinero.
That's like my buddy with his old Midnight spending 30K on paint and another 70K on quad 300 optis. He iniitally paid 35K for entire boat with quads at auction!( reasoning becuase 300's were more fuel efficient than his old 250 EFI's ...... to save how much money in fuel!!
Oh well some have it like that $$$$$$$$$$$$ I don't!
Speaking of $$$$ I have to go to work now., which really sucks getting of at 7am.
Get that Latitiude you can't go wrong. Orlando is the man!
I would like to see his 35 with twin 350 Verados.
