A buddy has a 2000 34' Viper with 454's. 28' B1 props. I never thought of it having any trouble coming out of the hole. I think it is right at 70mph??????
It also has drive spacers. Would it come with those from PQ?
Very nice boat, but he's trying to sell it. His wife wants a cruiser. I think I'll have to beat her up.

The drive spacers would have helped tremendously as far as planing time,,,I have no idea if the factory sent any boats out with them.. As posted previously, the claimed they were working on the problem,,,so maybe they tried drive spacers to help,,,,who knows..

You could turn yours easily - time to start looking for something new.

You and Scott could both get Cats.

Man, I would think long and hard about a 34 with only 454's. The PQ 34's are a much better boat with the HP500's. And they look really nice in the engine bay!!
