Has anybody gotten to see there new boat? It’s the mold they bought from eric Simmons. Seems like they did a good job. Salesman said the boat does close to 80mph with a 300.

Great point on fuel tank, that motor burns about 35 gallons per hour WOT. Also it is more like a 64-67mph boat. I have had several Majeks and one nice thing is they build a solid boat. Running my Eric Simmons Recon with no problems , more fuel and it cost less with more options. 😀

Why you would need to ever do 80 mph in a flats finishing boat is beyond me. Or spend near 100 grand to catch trout and reds...That's some expensive *** bay fish fillets... to each their own.
It's not necessarily about running 80 mph. It's about being able to cruise at 45-55 mph turning mid-range RPMs.

I have not seen it in person yet. But From what I hear its just a majek... Nothing that great on fit and finish and a three piece boat. Not sure why they could not get the tank in the floor it has the room.

the way i see it is if you walk around with hundred dollar bills hanging out of your ears and nostrils, and have minimum few cool mil cash sitting in the bank, with more coming in, they say you can't take it with you when you go. So if ripping across the bay on a 10 story tower at mach 4 with stereo juiced up so u can hear it from the tower, strobe lights flashing, floates your boat, more power to you. I don't get it, but who cares. Finanacing a boat like this, well ?? you're on your own, I can't explain or help with that one. I'm fishing a beat up junker, trying to hide and hoping no one sees it or me, or the lunkers it releases. :texasflag

I spoke with both of the dealers who had the boats on display, they had no idea what it would run. But if they told you 80mph they must have thought you had no idea what you were looking at. 72/74 MAX with a 350

Well I was at the Houston Boat Show in January working the Majek Booth for Premier Yamaha. I was asked about 200 times what the Reaper would do and being honest I said I don't know but I promise to tell you after I have had a chance to run it. We received the boat from Majek only a few days before the Christmas Break and it takes some major coordination to get all of those boats in and out of the arena so we just did not have ample time to run it before the show. I do not know how to uphold my promise any better than to post our testing numbers here on 2 Cool for everybody to see.
We measured the draft at about 9" on a Check it stick. We put the boat on plane in 13" and shot a video of us doing it. It took me a little while to dial in the prop but we are able to get 66.2 mph out of her with two grown men and a full tank of gas. I also ran it solo and got 68.1 mph light loaded.
I personally fished out of this boat last weekend in the Saltwater Legends Tournament in Port Aransas. We took it across Corpus Christi Bay under less than favorable conditions. Most of the other boats headed for the shoreline but we were able to go straight across. To say I am impressed would be an understatement. One thing that has surprised me is that this boat will run as fast into the wind as it does down wind. The boat handles chop extremely well.
Hopefully I have upheld all of my promises to put it out........We are having an on the water boat show at Bluffs Landing Marina here in Corpus Christi next weekend if you are in town and would like a demo ride.

I forgot to clarify. Our test boat has a Mercury 300R.

"Chop" ha. Actually, that water is perfect for cats to run in, probably get some of the fastest speeds in water like that.

"run as fast into the wind as it does down wind" Good gosh, you think everyone reading this forum is an idiot? That's just a retarded statement to make, i guess physics applies to all boats expect the majek reaper.

While I wasn’t very good at physics I am pretty good at reading the speed numbers off a GPS

Well I have tried numerous times to upload the video today. I didn't realize I was going to get called out so I didn't have it in a format that I can upload but I am diligently working on it. If any of you know how to get it from a .mov format to something I can upload onto here please send me a PM. If all else fails I will just upload it onto Youtube.
