This test of the Convincor 300 w / 525 EFI is out......March issue of Powerboat. Can never figure these tests out you give them a boat running solid 80 and it tests out a 76 ....go figure ! ...Kip

Did Bob Teague drive it?

 

[Kip Combs]

Wasn't there....

I wasn't there ......you'd have to ask Dean or JR who drove it, KC.

Just got my issue today, can't wait to read the article! What ever the speed, great to see you guys in PB Mag!!! I will also say, even with their numbers of 76 mph, that is pretty repectable for a true 28 foot boat!! (not knocking, that is meant to be a compliment!!)

I wish I could get that out of mine. The new ones must be lighter or something.

Nothing bad. They did say it was strictly a calm water boat though which surprised me. when I used to run these in the 90's for the dealership I worked at, I though they did very well in the rough slop on Lake Michigan. But maybe with the speed, they lost some rough water charictaristics...Just a though...

BUT, is that a dream-o-meter or GPS??? I see no GPS markings on the face of the gauge.

 

[Heavy Handed]

That is one sweet boat at 76 or 80

Dont know Kip will need to answer that

 

[Shameless]

Dont know Kip will need to answer that

WHY???

Remember, I said earlier, even at GPS and RADAR numbers of 76 by PB, that is VERY respectable...

 

[supergenius74]

just got my issue today, they compliment the build quality and the new owners changes along with the respectable speed but do say it is a calm water boat. I think these guys have been riding in 40+ footers so long they forget how most boats handle big water.
