I know this 368 is already well known on this site, but it was the first time for me to be able to actually get out in it after my buddy out here in California recently bought it. After putting over 150 miles on it last Sunday, I can say that the boat is truly amazing I was expecting it to be a slower, lazier version of my 30, seeing that it is 6 longer and a foot-and-a-half wider with the same power. From the minute we first rolled on plane and accelerated up to cruising speed, I could tell that my expectations were wrong. The boat rolled on plane effortlessly, with very little bow rise, and accelerated up to speed seemingly the same as my 30. The boat does lean out slightly from plane (17mph) to about 40, as all true cats do. Once at 40mph and above, it leans in slightly and takes a perfect set in the corners. The porpoise range starts right at 50mph and once above 70 it flattens out. Once its past the porpoise, you can back it down close to 65 and it still stays above the porpoise. The water was glass smooth on the sections I reference the porpoise range, as when the water gets choppy, the porpoise disappears. My 30 porpoise range is slightly higher, and longer (55-75) plus it is more pronounced. Once up and running over the porpoise, the boat drives like a dream. Obviously this is a race proven hull at speed, and it corners and gets over rough water and large cruiser wakes phenomenally, as would be expected. With the 400s on the back, it cruises between 70-100 effortlessly, again with very similar acceleration and feel to the performance of my 30 - I was VERY surprised Even in the corners of the windy Sacramento river, I would leave the throttles set at 85mph as wed enter the sweeping corners, it would only drag us down to 75 or so. Once running straight again, the tunnel would clean up and the speedo would climb right back up to 85. I was really expecting the corners to drag it down more, and the boat to take longer to get back up to speed. Again, it was very similar to how my 30 drives. The new owner is new to performance boats, and did not feel intimidated or uncomfortable driving the boat at 75-90 all day. He actually was thrilled with the boat, and is super happy that he bought it. With him behind the wheel, I ran the throttles up to see what it would run with the 3 of us in it and over half tanks of gas - as you can see from the picture, it ran 118mph This is a no-bull speed in 90 degree heat. Im certain that with a lighter load and cooler weather, the boat will see 120. There has been so much written about the MTI 340X and DW360, because Performance Boat Center does a great job of getting those boats media exposure, but I want people to know that the 368 is on par with both of those models when it comes to speeds that Ive seen published for them. The deadrise (19 degree) and depth of the tunnelentry of the 368 would lead me to believe its a better rough water boat than either the MTI or DW, but I wont state that as fact. I have nothin g to gainlose by posting up my experience in this 368 last weekend, I just want guys to know that are in the market for a new midsize cat how good of a boat this 368 is with a pair of 400Rs on the back. It will be even better with the new 450Rs It honestly bummed me out in a way, because I was expecting to not like it as much as my 30 in the smoother waters I typically run on - but I was wrong It drivesperforms as well or better overall, in a much bigger boat.
