Here is the update......I have been sick for a week...finally went to the ER yesterday and found out I have Freakin Pneumonia! I am laid up taking two antibiotics...steroids....and a host of other crap. I will prollly be down for several more days.

On a good note, my office called me today and they said that there was a GIANT Be Cool radiator box sitting in my office....so that thing has finally come in. I will try to get it home Friday (quarantined until then) and I will get some pics of it and get them up.

Feel better man, I can't wait to see more of this engine build. I would love to see some pictures of the motors in your boat sometime, if you can swing it.

155mph in 36 Nortech cat with 1400 quadrotors with stick left. Boat ran 173mph later that day.

152MPH in 43 Nortech cat with 1400 quadrotors.

133 mph in 399 Skater V with me driving. I worked on the build and set up on that boat. Boat has run 143 with more left. It has 598 5.0L whipple motors in it. I have a bunch of videos of me driving that boat on the internet....let me dig up a link. I will not go fast (130+) in this one anymore....that was all I wanted. It scared the hell out of me.

118MPH in my 37 Outerlimits. It is a full stagger dry sump #6 boat with 565ci quadrotors. Mine has a little more in it.....It just got out of shape at 118. Mine is dancing at that speed. Anything north of 110 in my boat...you better be on your game with a good night's sleep the night before.

cool....

yup, at some point you start outrunning hull design... Outer Limits, nice boat.. and obviously any Skater is cool... been quite awhile since I've been 100 in a boat... really not into it.. too many variables I can't control..


here's a shot of my buddy's after a lofty launch/submarine...

I agree, anything over a 100 while not in race trim is crazy on a boat. I've been 112 in a 21 foot specte and it wasn't fun! Now I just keep it at 34 or 36 and drag people behind it. Much more fun.

My boat tops out at 43

What kind of hull is that?

 

[ryoken]

a late 80's Fountain iirc... seen 1 too many races... that happened back in the late 90's... been awhile.......

I'm friends with the owner of http://www.kurtsmarine.com/index.html down here at the Joysey shore... he test ran out of my marina for 12 yrs..

this is my idea of a boat. i dont care to go fast like that, to much could go wrong,

but i sure love to watch them go fast!

 

[ryoken]

there's TONS of boats that'll do 80.. it's that 100+ crowd that it gets outta my "comfort zone".... I'm definitely a 0 to 150 pavement kinda guy...

Yup, my Mastercfrat gets all of about 47 with just me in it and I have no desire to ever go faster.

Thats cause you are still on airguide speedos Pretty sure my old raft showed about 47 until i put in a perfect pass.

I think my Malibu does about 46-47 at sea level on gps.

Motors in my Outerlimits and a couple of shots on the water.

 

[THUNDERUSONE]

Here are the motors in my 38' Stryker. It was made off of a 38' Cig Top Gun mold. It has 598ci 3.3L whipple motors in it. It is for sale if someone has more money than sense.
