Hi all..
Here are some videos of our SS31 with Volvo Penta Supercharged KAD44's Diesel's

Boat fully loaded at present fuel, water and loads of crap on board but still a great turn of speed:

Planing speeds of 19mph @ 2200rpm

Cruising Speeds of 30mph @ 3000rpm

Fast cruising of 45mph @ 3700rpm

4000 rpm????

Please take a look at our videos the Mrs and I took yesterday morning here in Spain:

Why use mph rather than Knts?

Also, Max rated rpm for the KAD series is 3700 so in answer to your 4000? I'd suggest nothing

Looks very clean. I almost bought a Sunseeker Tomahawk 37 but it needed too much work.

KAD44 is a SuperTurbo btw.

In answer to your question, why do I use MPH? My answer to that is: Why knot?? Hahahahahahaa

Looks a minter -nice boat to enjoy the sea -Crikey clean engines
Here in SoF the older SS ( there bread+ butter stuff from 90's ) are getting quite trendy as day boats .
Folks are doing em up -quite dare I say it getting collectible .
Suppose it's just the shape ,designer Don Shead at his best ? -pretty hard to beat ,improve on ?
Here's a THawk 37 on petrols fully restored -I walked past it t , other day .

A Super Turbo? What's a super turbo?

An engine that has both a super and turbo charger.

Must be misremembering - it's a while since I had a pair.
Maybe 3700 was the max less 200rpm fast cruise limit

Great stuff Stats. But you gotta get a drone to do justice to the moving footage. Albeit, on the subject of footage, may I say what a very excellent choice of nail-polish...
