How old were you at that time.

I dunno. Twelve maybe?

Or Stinson!!:cheers2:

 

[cashbrain]

Cause my racing form shows something else.

Well?

Nice LOL!

So how fast is the fastest 41'?

I know Ike does better than we do. 92 I think, maybe a bit faster.

Thats only untill rob gets those 1200's in there... oops..I don't think I was supposed to say anything

I thought that Warpath ran over 100 at one point??

I'm not sure which 41 is the fastest? :huh:

I'd like to know what Geronimo will do these days, since it was repowered a few years back with big power & dry sump 6's.

Is Tonto fast?

I know Allez Vite is a fast HULL, but I have no idea how it runs with the power it currently has.

Warpaint probably runs good, being a former FAST race boat.

I really don't know for certain.

And, we're talking real numbers guys! Not what somebody said the boat should do.

What did you see????????????

FWIW I was on three 41' race setups all three were within 5 mph of each other when I was on them and I passed 100 on a couple of them. All had similar power as well, but each one had different drives one had 3a's one had 5's and one had dry #6's.

There are a good few that will run 100+.

 

[cashbrain]

There are a good few that will run 100+.

Yea,but, in anything(or damn near it)

 

[ChiefApache]

There are a good few that will run 100+.

I don't disagree at all with that. We were also told our boat does 90MPH and we've seen 85. We didn't buy it because they said it went 90MPH, but geesh, say it goes 85.

I guess maybe in early May with no gas and a 2' chop we may see 90MPH, but we'd be grasping at everything to see it.

What has been your experience with the various drives and performance

 

[fund razor]

Well?

It's barely driving you freaking nuts at all. That's good.

 

[fund razor]

but geesh, say it goes 85.

Ok. It goes 85.

I know that when I was on the run with you I may have cost you a few mph in aerodynamic drag.

No I'm not talking "he said she said they maybe saw". I think it was Bobby S who told me one day that boat with 1000's was a 102-103 boat.

What has been your experience with the various drives and performance

I have read that 3a's and 5's give good performance. As the boat was designed to run 3's back in the day it could have something to do with it. I have been told that huge motors + #6's means huge weight over the back of the boat, but in the #6 boat I was on I didn't notice any issues. Also, keep in mind today that 3a's and 5's are no longer made.... I am sure others with actually experience driving these boats will chime in, I was just a happy passanger

LOL! Could be.
