I think Capt Mike Ellis sitting on the gunnels at 62 mph says it all. All of these shots were at 60+mph except for the one sitting still.

Looks really sharp. Thanks for sharing the helo shots - very cool. Any guesses on how she would run w/ V350's?
What are your LP/LW dims from fore to aft? I like that set-up.

We have seen 66mph running on top of chop going with the current. 64mph average load.

I guess I am an idiot.... LP/LW?
I think that you could see 3-4 more mph with the 350vrods. Possibly touching 70mph lite going with the current...... and I emphasize POSSIBLY.

(Ur no idiot?) I think "LW" is waterline length. Usually then the other would be some other length, but who knows? Not "overall" and not "length along gunnel" which some makers used to provide years ago. OK, what's "LP"? :rofl:

sorry... LP/LW = Leaning Post/LiveWell - I was just curious how long it was front to back.
Your boat is obviously very efficient. I was curious on the V350's b/c on most boats they burn @ 10gph ea at 4,000 rpm. The F350's typically burn 15gph, but seems a little less on your hull. It would be interesting to see what speed & burn the V350's get at 4,000rpm on your hull.
Either way, you are running great #'s & looking good.

The leaning post is 42" front to back.
The F350's are doing well at 27gph at 40mph turning 4000rpm.
Dude, If Verado 350's would burn 20gph at 4000rpm at 40mph on a Freeman 33..... 2mpg.... not bad for a beast that is 33'8" and 11' wide. I do know that the V350's are designed to turn 6800rpm, so not quite sure if 40mph @4000rpm is attainable on my boats. Should be, but not positive.

This boat now lives in Tampa, so it was the one you saw.

Congrats!!!
