Damon@tirerack has a reputation beyond repute

I'm still a fan of Speed Racer most, but this is sick.

I know I shouldn't say this but ONLY 700's? Where is the big power?

I guess they were looking for warranty's and good fuel economy! I am sure that it still will run 110.....

I really love the detail on that boat.

You don't need such big power on these boats. A 39 Cigarette will go about 104 106 with 700's. I believe that this one will hit 135. My buddy's Nortech hit 152 with 850's, and he had an MTI with 1075's and that went way past 160. So I believe that with 700's you will have a boat that will hit 135 and will be reliable.

700's are a good combo for this boat. Merc 700's actually produce closer to 800hp. If it were a 44 MTI, then maybe bigger power, but for a 40, I think the 700 is a good package, as Hernando said. Boat should run at least 135 all day.
