I just read this again, and have to point out:

I really very much doubt that a P25/single 225 OB would run much over 60mph 65 absolute max, but I doubt it.

It was!
An absolute perfect day. and I would say, about as flat as you'll ever see in the Solent.

As for what type of boat it was perfect for, the next decent, horribly rough race there is in...

If you read it, you'll see he actually said it was far superior to a P25 with 200+ in the rough, and it aint. And with more suitable motor(s), as BA says,..no comparison, at least with a 300hp E26.

It was very rare indeed for us to be anywhere near a class III 4 litre boat when...

I don't remember ever saying a P16 compared in any way.

My point was that a well driven P21, 23, or 25, with an appropriate motor, would be quicker in pretty much all conditions than a 26 Ring...

That's it then, the diesel 26 Extreme, is clearly a better rough water race boat than a twin ouboard Phantom 28 :dizzy:

I think that's a bit of a sweeping statement.

The P25, and even the P21 are very capable boats, whatever the conditions. But comparing a 21' outboard boat, with your 26' sterndrive boat aint...

It did indeed have the nice moulded floor, which was Pascoes finest, ...cosmetically at least.

Downside was the ghastly Mike Ring Dash assembly, as apposed to the maelstrom/T1 version.
