DAVE!!!!! Glad to see him get that beast out for some fun!
Most likely testing some of the new octane booster he's been working on.
Being that Holland is such a quiet sailboater community...they have to LOVE him!

Funny, most people go out for dinner or have a few drinks to relax, Dave straps on a few 1000hp and decompressed. I remember going up for a water test with a buddy and him telling us his wife insisted on going to dinner and while she was reading a book on the way there in "their sweet sports car", she looked over and said Dave, do you really have to drive that fast to dinner? And of course he said she went back to reading. Would love to see him hit a few races, his work is fun to watch not to mention boat on all summer.

Mike you are right we where testing the race boat on 92oct fuel in the main tanks and BOOSTane in the system tank.The engines are set up 1350hp with 16lbs of boost.We ran the boat hard for 35min.My goal is to run a full race on regular 89 fuel.
Mark and I are real close to releasing the product and the system.
You might see a little more of Jaws next year.

Dave, i saw the boat on lake mac and when i cruised thru Anchor Marine coming back from lunch at OBI i saw the boat once again getting pre paired to be hauled out by the slings and to tell you the truth it has been a long time in the making since i first worked on the ole gal at Skater to now , and just curious what is your old partner Mr , Kasier up to these days ?...............................Artie

Well...the detonation control options are pretty limited.

Just the beginning of what BOOSTane is going to be able to bring to the high performance market. A viable and most of reliable option for increasing fuel octane levels and varying octane

This is an article I came across years ago for those interested. It's actually what made me realize 'blending' wasn't going to satisfy my cylinder psi needs. I switched to 118 and no more ashtrays. I'll be skeptical of the performance claims of additives until I see some data.

The problem with roots style blowers is the inability to cool the charge. You'll never get the boost out of them that you could from a centrifugal supercharger on the same octane. The centrifugal's are getting almost 30lbs of boost on 93 octane thanks to the far more efficient intercoolers. They're a better system all the way around for pump gas. It took a few years for the fuel management and ignition systems to catch up but now that they have I'm not sure why anyone looking to maximize their hp would still be running roots type blowers. Now if they could just look as cool as a big ass roots blower!

I started testing the fluid first on the dyno, then to drag boats,pro street cars then on to offshore boats before bringing it to market.The testing was done on several different engines.First on a supercharged 598ci running 93 fuel running 14 lbs of boost.After running through 100 gal of fuel on the dyno with the the BOOSTane system on the engine with no problems.Using the same engine and the same 93 fuel testing with 14 lbs of boost at 6200 rpm in the middle of the test the system was turned off 8 seconds later the engine lost two pistons.The engine was re-paired and went back to the dyno and re-tested again with BOOSTane and no problems.For the last three years we have moved on to test in offshore boats 48 Express Cat,40 Skater,47 XXX Outer Limits and the 46 Skater with no problems.
What makes the BOOStane different than others we have years of real product testing in the lab,on the dyno,on the road and in the water.
This winter we are testing BOOSTane on procharged and nitrous drag race engines.Also working on a system for stock boat engines at WOT.
