Speed Racer Hits 170

[Matt Trulio]

Sometimes, repowering is a really good alternative to buying a new boat, http://www.boats.com/boat-content/2010/02/speed-racer-tops-170-mph-with-potter-power/.

Of course, twin 1,300-hp engines are never "cheap." Don't get me wrong.

Sweet big number, Congrats.

I believe the props are 17.5 x 39 five-blades.

Not sure about the year of the boat, but I can check.

Sorry I missed you at the show, GLH. But I talked to Johnny Tomlinson about your boat and he had a big smile on his face. I think it brought back memories.

I'm sure it was new at the 2005 Miami show.

I'm sure it was new at the 2005 Miami show.

That is when I saw it, in Miami 2005.

First owner was Randy Kent, who if I'm not mistaken has a place at the Lake of the Ozarks.
