not really comparible are they, its just the engine thats honda after all not the cougar hull...
i once heard a comparison between a stepped hull boat and a 400hp rear wheel drive car in the wet.... its a high performance application and as with any high performance application the gains are great but they tend to demand more respect.. too much juice of a corner in a rear wheel drive car and ur gonna have a similar effect. when i fitted coilover suspension to my car my track times improved no end but on the road i kept on spining it. i just had to learn to respect it 2 years later and i havent spun it for about 8 weeks now!!
still dont think i would wanna drive a honda 225

Yeah, I was gonna say 65 ish.
And I don't know about the 150's, but the 130's didn't quite manage 50.
Half the fleet are Extreme hulls/decks, the other half are Cougar-modified Extremes.

OCR boats go over cause they're all f**kin nutters Also Bob McCarthy drives a Bernico 19 with a single step in the hull.
