The Nitro 911 CDC we were riding landed softly, but solidly. It is similar in concept to what Allison has been doing for years. With a beam of eight feet, there are actually two additional seats, one on each side of the center dual console, for four-across seating, again for better balance. Hydraulic tilt steering makes it easy to adjust the steering wheel to suit the driver's body and driving style. You 'II also find three grab handles for those rough rides, a 12-volt accessory outlet at the cockpit bench, and a directional courtesy light at the console.
More power comes aft.
However, the motor that Penny and I tested was a Mercury 225 OptiMax, which was clocked on radar with a top speed of 69.8 mph at 5800 rpm. Not terribly impressive, but test conditions were poor. As for all our tests, the boat carried two passengers and a full tank of gasoline, which means 58 gallons. Our near-70 speeds were off, according to tests done by Tracker, but not by much. Handling was superb and the ride over the rough water was dry.
