What is the Convict model differences compared to the Piranha and Hammerhead?

Windshield is moved forward lots. And the rear of the boat is angled for better reverse. Sure there’s more but I think that’s the main difference

Reverse is overrated...lol. Would be cool to see what this thing looks like though.

So is this a V8 application? Looks pretty “skinny water tight places” ready to roll

Supposedly 200 lbs lighter then a 5.7 350 with same performance.
Time will tell I guess ? Sit back and watch for a couple years .
Does it work better then a 350 ? Probably not but it’s new right ? Lol
Hope it works great .

Chris is selling his green boat. But he’s putting a 6.2 in his boat not that eco boost.

If I was building one ? I would do the same .
But nothing out there at this time that will replace the sport jet for weight so will continue listening to the hum . Lol
Weight is weight.
Boaters expect to much out of the SJ .
Keep boat light and small if you want to do that type of boating .

Its gunna be a fast, agile, light, shallow water boat with a 6.2. The 6.2 is right around 177lbs heaver than the ECO boost engine. I am a V8 guy and could care less about the extra weight lol I have a winch.... It will go any place a 17 foot SJ boat will go except will have power and thrust and mileage oh and reliability and that V8 sound !!!!!! The sport jet is dead, the ECO rips.

This must be a brand new model for them. I do not see anything on the Firefish website.
