Up to 900 hp per side they actually run approx the same top speed #s as a similar size late 90s to mid 2000 design #6 -36' pleasure Skater or Norteck,140mph or so depending on prop.
When you start to put 1000+ hp per side to these hulls that,s where the Talons inefficiency high prop slip rears her head,the mph spread goes 10 to 15 mph between the Talon and the Skater speed wise.
We run 1300hp + per side in our 377 and fully loaded run mid 150s every day of the week in a very short distance,105 to 150mph a click less than 10 seconds stop watch tests.
In a few weeks we plan on documenting a 160+ mph run by adding larger props and a few lbs of boost if needed.
For this hull that's moving pretty well, by Skater /MTI standards a total slug power to power.
The 377 pod hulls don,t handle the rough water near as well as the skater but up to 3' s or so I prefer the over all ride of the Talon to both my neighbors 36' Skaters .
If you want to be racer X this is not the hull, but as a fast pleasure bay boat she makes for a great ride!

We used to race against Todd Werner when he ran the Talon Flowmaster, and we were in the 36 skater triple outboard Snakeman. As much as I hate to admit it, the talon ran sweet, and routinely outran the skater!

From what I hear the pod Talons ride hard.

Please feel free to call me. I worked at Talon when the boat was developed and had the oppertunity to race both the 25 and 37. I am currently working @ STATEMENT Marine and yes the Flowmaster Talon is here. It has been converted to a pleasure boat and is currently available. Gary Armington (Owner of Talon) is a very close friend of mine and I may be able to put you in touch with him as well. Chip Fendt 941 586-1808.
