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]

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?

How was Lake of the Ozarks!?

I've done 250 knots 10 feet over the water, in a turbo prop and that was a kick. Can't imagine doing 208 mph in a boat!

Hey Dan -

What a great weekend. We were pretty happy. Set a new record of 209 mph Sunday afternoon. Kind of hoping one of the 3 Bud boats would have run a little better, but that's racing. Here's some of the eye candy that came over and hung out on the boat with us. Let me tell you, it was pretty tough to take...lol

I wish I could post the video I took from the cockpit, but it definitely won't fit.
