kalugs22 probably last time out for the Starliner, the 150 ran decent on the on the Pulsare, but the 250 should be a blast!!

Was out in my buddy's 300x powered Velocity just after sundown. It was so cold it made my head hurt. Missing my windshield right then.

ckaluger, any first impressions of the 'feel', Pulsare versus 'Liner? Factoring out engine differences of course, could you notice any difference between how each hull felt in comparison with each-other?

CK- what speed did you get w- the 150?

We ran a 24 pitch Fury on the 150 and got it 62, which bested Jay's 50 MPH with a 19 pitch Trophy. We could definatley raise the jackplate, I was only turning 5500 RPM at 62. As for comparson, they are completely different in two aspects, padded versus no padded hull plus the slight nose down of the Pulsare versus the stright and not tapered front of the Starliner gives you a very different feel. We tried 30 pitch Cleaver just for kicks on the Starliner and we could only get 73 out of it. The Starliner has been fastest with the 26 Trophy, 77+. Also much larger interior with the Starliner. They both turn very well at high speeds, the Pulsare seems to ride better, likely the padded hull and sharper "V" in the front. I had an older 150 on the Starliner last year and it did not perform like the Pulsare. But the biggest difference is the quality of the finsh and the metal flake on the Starliner, they just don't finish the new boats the same.

You're gonna have a line-up waiting for the 'Liner when you decide to sell it...

Good job....62 to is very impressive for 150 HP.

Yes it is, I could only squeeze 65-66 out of my pulsare with the 200XRi with the same prop.
