willtim Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Any more news? I am about to pull the trigger on a 2600 HPS but would love to know more about this new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsusteve Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 That would be basically true of standing while running in any boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Not exactly the same. The higher over the gunnel, as in the boat in the picture, the more extreme the movement will be. Compare running a boat from a tuna tower vs the flybridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsusteve Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Maybe there’s a seatbelt option for some of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there is some new design concept that makes the two very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willtim Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 I would love to see the MA 26 and the 2600 HPS with a new Mercury V8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCalf Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Sorry, but IMHO a 26’ flats boat is a pipe dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyshon Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 All, It will be a while before we have a working model on this new boat. We are now working with our Naval Architecht on design, much more info coming as we move forward. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take 43 knots in 2 to 4 confused seas in the Freeman 34 from yesterday. 80 mph in your rig sounds fun until! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
