For people who like fast boats too...

Here is the newest boat out of the shop earlier today. Has a real metal look with the silver paint. Taking a different boat out to Lake of the Ozarks in 2 weeks to try and defend the Top Gun record of 208 mph. Fun...

Disney called, they want their stage double for "Flight of the Navigator" returned immediately.













That thing is BAD.

Specs?

Can I ski behind it?

Normal engines - (2) 1800 hp PSI blown BBC's set at 1500 hp for longevity.
Setup for turbines too, but don't know if they will end up in it or not.

Still should run around 180+ mph with those piston engines.

How's your Chevelle running with the intercooler now that you probably have it tuned to perfection by now...

Is 180 a typo? Aren't top fuel hydros running about 230 with over 6,000 hp?

DaleLee 08-09-2007 08:00 PM

Still an absolutely awesome looking boat though! Should run strong!

not a typo , just a different type of racing , top fuel hydro is a standing 1/4 mile .

love the boat !

Oh yeah, I definately realize that, but I just am blown away at that top speed. I am assuming it will have surface drives to hold up to that power?

The prior hull and the same engines runs a little over 180 and there is quite a bit of tuning left. But you have to remember, this is over either a standing mile or open race environment. Can't accelarate a 50 foot boat anywhere near as fast as a Blown Hydro, but you can make it to the Bahamas in 20 minutes from Florida !! Just like going to the grocery store...

Yes, it uses surface drives, usually BPMs.

damn, should call it the

AquaSaber..

or SeaSharp..
