WATER TESTING A NEW 2023 22FT LIBERATOR WITH A NEW MERCURY 450R

I'm just finishing up a new 22 Liberator with a Mercury 450R. It took 19 months to get the motor delivered. I only ran a 30" Hill prop for testing, so it only ran 105. Crazy acceleration though. I always water test the boats when they are done. Good thing I did, because I had the steering hoses hooked up backwards. I go to turn left and the boat goes right. I had to be very consious of what I was doing at 100+ mph! I did'nt feel like driving 20 miles home to fix it. It's all fixed now though.

How do these hulls handle rougher water? I live on a larger lake, smooth early, mid day pretty choppy. I am referring to the 22ft. thanks, Jeff

They run great in a 2ft chop. Gotta slow down after that. Way smoother than a V-bottom.

Sweet!

300r seems to be the choice. Right wheel on it..

It's good for acceleration, but a 32 Cleaver will pull 118 and a 34 has pulled up to 124
