Welcome Bruce,that is one bad ass boat you have there.There is a guy local to me that has some pretty crazy boats like that.He had(not sure if he still holds them)a few world records.I think his boat last I heard did 175+ mph.

Default Hey jonny51 - thanks

I wish it was my boat, but it is owned by a friend of mine and it is fun.
We took it to a race called Lake Of The Ozarks this year and all runs over a measured mile from a standing start were 200+ mph

Horsepower in any form is addictive.
Looking forward to the quickness of a car again.

Say, is that Mr. Arneson's boat?

Speaking of boats, here's myself a couple years back (LOL) in the blown alcohol hydro my Dad used to race, parked in front of the house. 200mph, on the water... in an open cockpit with an open faced helmet.



Our "family boat" was a Sanger flatbottom, 472 BBC with a tunnel ram, that would trap in the 124-126mph range. Good ski boat.

Boats are fun. I've had an urge to build a boat powered by a small turbine (Allison T63 would be a reasonable way to get started) but there's no place around my area anymore where the waterways are deserted enough to really have fun with it-- I don't just want to idle through 5mph zones with it.

Welcome!! Another 68, sweet!!

My cousin races a flat bottom Cole T2 (I beleive) with a 500+ inch injected alcohol Merlin motor. His best time thus far is 130mph in the 1/4...he's thinking of strapping on a blower next year!

Again welcome!! Yep Speed's addicting!!
