[billnorman1]

You probably should register as a vendor here.

[Dixie-Raven]

You have a dealer network yet? Will you post pictures of the models as they are completed?

Low slung hit the nail on the head I hope new owner reads some of these post for what they are and that is people that have no interest in buying but merely posting comments

[low slung cruiser]

yurp

[G-man]

Exactly.. post a copy of your tax returns before you even comment on the new boats. If your not making a multi 6 figure income... your not buying, and shouldn't even try to buy a 100K boat.

[white gambler]

Anything worth a damn is expensive now with most things. Certainly with boats. I bet they'll start getting orders to keep them busy if they already haven't started. Unique product, and now an owner that seems to have his attention on bass boats and customer service. Which some of us know/experienced was previously non-existent 99.9% of the time in the last 10 years or so. (same time frame when Scott Ashmore wasn't the Nat'l rep anymore)

I'm excited for the new owners and look forward to seeing some new builds as they get them finished.

[Blue Steel]

Don't get me started on Scott Ashmore.

[RAM-LC]

Met him at a show in Richmond. He was a dick.

These new hulls are suppose to be special? They claim to be fishing at 84-85. Any truth to that Scotty G?

[H.Murphy]

I can confirm that RAM-LC... We've been doing some setup and prop testing on the new 21' hull, and have tested a stock Yamaha 27" T2, and a custom Ballistic 4 blade with PVS holes. Both props got us out past the 85 mph mark on the data logger, and both were stopped short by the SHO's rev limiter with about 20 psi left on the water pressure gauge. That's with ballast bags, 6 or 8 rods, light tackle load, 45 gal of fuel, and full livewells. When we dropped one of the ballast bags, and added a 200 lb passenger we got the exact same top speeds (rpm was limiting factor, not hp). The worked Ballistic was extremely impressive, and had a far superior hole-shot and acceleration while still getting within a mph of the T2 on top end. We want to be able to recommend solid off-the-shelf props for the boats, so we're ordering a 29" Bravo 1 XS to test now. I don't have comparable runs logged for the Yamaha prop for a proper side by side comparison, but below is the data from the Ballistic WOT test. I'll post the Bravo data as soon as we have it. I'm still trying to figure out the most appropriate place to post all our test data moving forward (suggestions? new BBC thread? facebook?). The new Gambler 22’ and the Elite are both the same hull as the previous Sterling, so there’s already a good bit of performance info floating around on the web for those hulls. I know I hit 83 mph in our factory demo Elite (250 SHO, 27” T2) the first time I ever drove it, which was also the first time I had ever even been in a Gambler.

One more thing, these hulls will absolutely get on plane without using any trim tabs. The Yamaha T2 doesn't like it, but it will do it, and the Ballistic with the PVS holes is on par with most rigs on the market today. Obviously, if you drop the tabs that changes everything, and the list of boats you can make a relevant comparison to get's really small.

[jrbritt]

H. murphy THOSE speeds of 84 to 85 mph are they with power poles??? I would like to see a video of this boat if possible??? here is a sterling with power poles and loaded to fish.

[H.Murphy]

No poles. I've actually been eyeballing a Garmin virb that's shows speed right on the screen during playback... Regardless I'll definitely snag a video next time I have one of the rigs out for testing.

[flubyu]

Thanks for all the info Heath!!

[H.Murphy]

You bet flubyu! I plan to keep it coming as we continue our development also. I intend to share pretty much everything from our R&D efforts so that everyone can benefit from it... regardless of what brand of boat you drive. Hopefully it will help demystify some of the lore in setups, as well as provide some 100% unbiased feedback (i.e. real, hard data) for any 3rd party products we may test on our boats. Obviously we don't want to giveaway any of our secret-sauce; but I genuinely get excited about this stuff, and knowing me I'll be walking a very thin line.
