The numbers were still clicking by pretty good at 180. Usually see the top end come in a much longer run so there must be 600-700 rpms left?

There may be more R's there, but the willingness faded away

Custom power triple digits rigged for him........:sifone:



I think they are 1200/1250's..... tough to follow since he has built so many boats with different powerplants

Nice run big daddy. Incredible acceleration considering the gearing.:cheers2:

Thats the reason we videoed the GPS because that boat in powerboat should be much much faster..it was an embarasment...somthing is way off...i would say the 1200 rating is a little stretched..but the did have it geared and propped for acceleration

it was an embarasment... to say the least ,maybe the test boat was still strapped to the trailer :leaving: Peter was a wee bit disappointed with the article but im sure he's a happy camper with these #s ...

Don't know of another pleasure cat with 1200's that can run 180+, still accelerating out there. would love to see it wind out for a big number, would think mid to upper 180's based on the gps acceleration. Bill ,Havasu and LOTO shootout should have your name on top gun this year.

Yeah, the speed is obviously impressive as hell, but that acceleration is eye popping.
