Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
Well yeah, any boat is always fastest right after the bottom is done. Even my comparatively underpowered 53MY hit 20 knots the last time I had it done, also with fresh engines. A couple weeks later after some barnacles had the chance to grow back, it was back to barely planing at 2000. I'm having a lot of difficulty finding a reliable diver anymore, I just go hull speed and drag the barnacles around until he deems me worthy of showing up. Then I can cruise at 16-17 for a week or two until they grow back.

Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
have to note that this boat had an enormous rough build up of bottom paint and quite a lot of fouling and she routinely did 100 rpm per knot even in that state. (previous 10 years experience) since she is over 83000 pounds in the video according to the new travelift scales I was really impressed with the improvement but of course I agree it will diminish as the growth builds...

Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
I have been secretly in love with the 61 Tolly since it came out.. Beautiful boat and very well built.
Pretty fast right out of the box from the factory but this thread stirred many memories and if I was
young enough to own a boat (I'm racing towards 90), that is probably what I would want but with
a pair of QSM 11's. I wonder what the performance would be....any ideas....

Re: 58LRC or Tollycraft 61?
Hi Walt- I have no idea as I have never seen a 61 with QSM power but have run a few boats with QSMs in the 535 and 660 HP flavour and been very impressed with the power delivered. We had a Riviera 43 convertible with a pair and 5 blade props and it was a really strong runner...I suspect there might be a height issue in the tolly 61 ER but then the 671 fit and they are pretty tall... This very boat is now for sale too...
