Default Not bad...

but I would say that with the 3 - 300 Hp drives, you're looking at about 100 gallons per hour at full throttle. She's a very thirsty girl! Just saying'.

I have to wonder just how much "extra" they get out of that 3rd 300 HP ? My guess is maybe an extra 5 MPH? Can anybody dig up any facts?

From a speed perspective it is hard to say what the 3rd 300 HP gets them. Your right though probably not a huge amount. However that isn't what that 3rd engine is about. Having the third engine, is about how quickly that boat gets out of the hole, and up to that top end. Built as a combat boat, it is heavy, add the artillery and ammunition, and the weight just keeps going up. With its objective to be a fast attack / quick response boat, the power is needed to get out of the hole, and get moving quickly. That is what the 3rd engine on that boat is all about.

Default armorment

for the lake take away the heavy artilary and put in similar ones that shoot Paint balls. Now that would be fun. Need a cannon? put in a potatoe gun and shoot tomatoes out of it. Splat all over the side of them pesky mosquitos
