Kitty Cat Killer?

[Tommy Gun]

The Cig could have beat the record (yea, yea, yea I know..."Should'a would'a could'a) I just don't thing people know how close they were to beating and in fact DID beat it on a one way pass. Johnny said there was a whooooooole lot more in the throttles but the boat got very squerlly (balancing a bowling ball on a razor blade).

Skip was told right then and there that if he padded the bottom it'd easily beat the record. Skip already had a sh!t load of money into the project and decided padding the bottom would take away from the boat being a legitimate Cig. So they scrapped the project. Then the Kilo boat was turned into one of the baddest poker run boats ever built, that thows an awe inspiring rooster (pictured in the foreground of the second pic).

Tank do you have any pic's of the recent redo of the cig kilo boat?

I have been eyeing an Ilmor powered boat.

I just need to be sure the drives can hold up.

If you put them thru 6's I suppose it would work.

Or Arnesons

Or Arnesons

Absolutely.

Team Taboo is a friend and I would buy his Arneson 42 in a heartbeat. :drool5:

Pics are on my other computer but here's some nice video of Neil running her at the Desert Storm Poker Run.

No doubt about it, the Ilmors are a fantastic motor package. I have owned the 550's and the 625's and hope to upgrade next spring with their newest package. I expect to see it at the Miami boat show. Should be a pleasant suprize.

The Whole Cat killer hype is getting old. Fountains are fast no doubt about it. But power for power, pound for pound at the end of the day the Cat will be faster. When a V bottom with 1000's beats up a cat with 500's it proves nothing.

 

[glassdave]

we were pushing around an almost 11K pound boat with 750 supercats and 1995 hull tech it was actually great water for us on wednesday and sunday though. not sure how that all fits in with the rest but hey . . . its Key West . . . ya take your best hand and lay it on the table . . . sometimes its your day. I had a blast and it was some good competition to say the least. Would love to have gotten another worlds but we had a mediocre hand to their full house

both fountains are for sale, 625/arneson and 710/sixes.... who wants to go P1 racing?

And someone from ILMOR will be on hand at every race

What are you looking at cash? What drives are on it? The Ilmor Donzi has staggered 710's and 6's and is a great boat.

 

[ILMORdude]

BTW I think what Ilmor has done, marinizing the Viper motor, has been an outstanding success and a great contribution to performance boating. First in pleasureboats, now twice World Champion motor in P1 racing. Congratulations to Ilmor for building a motor that is as reliable on the racecourse as it is in Poker Runs.

And sounds really awesome.

Thanks guys. Our race spec is EXACTLY the same as whats on the shelf for the customers pleasure boats, etc.... See whats coming soon..........:sifone:

 

[MarylandMark]

CatKiller went 170? Hadn't heard that. Yeah, Rio was awsome, (for a Vee)

I've been looking for "proof" of this- I can't find it. I posted 170 because that is the speed I've seen posted on a ton of other CK threads.

That being said- anyone else know what it really has run? I've even seen 180MPH in some posts and the CK returns video says "in excess of 180MPH".

Fast azz V fo' sho' but ani't no cat

I know what I've heard, but the truth is probably a lot less considering the Cats that have beat it pretty bad. I think a lot of people believe that CK is the world record boat. They don't know that is a "Marketing Ploy" that Fountain does not correct.

 

[Lubejobs42]

Was it this one??

 

[Lubejobs42]

I never really understood what Reggie was trying to accomplish. Power for power, cats are faster. Who dodne't know this. It physics. Why would he put his neck on the line like he has. The stunts he has pulled at the poker runs had more risk then possible reward. I have had people ask me about the Cat killer/ Mercedes boat issue. People that don't follow these sites or know any of the drama that goes on in our little world. They said who didn't know a cat can beat a V? What's the big deal? Then I explain the whole Reggie/ Cat Killer story. Always the same response.. Why would he do that.
I enjoyed this very much as Reggie really needed to be put in his place. I think how bad he made Speed Racer look in his edited video. Then to think if thing went just a little differnetly, I would have been the one looking bad in Reggies next video. I'm really glad it bit him in the a$$!!

 

[ILMORdude]

Def. wasn't your logo man, it was just words on the hatch. But just to clarify things with everyone, Im not starting the drama again with the CK boat. Just wanted to give a shout out to the Worldwide team for a great debut with our Powerplants.

 

[ILMORdude]

I've heard rumors of 1000hp...

You heard that rumor? Haha, Ive heard lots of them. ALL of them are BS. Ill let everyone know when the time is right whats coming.

 

[MarylandMark]

Me 2!!

CK is a bad V and to think this could have gone such a different way for him if it weren't for him. Could have let the boat speak for itself and the v and cat guys would have said "Man-that V is fast as chit!".

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Worldwide team for a great debut with our Powerplants.

I love the sound of your motors screaming!

I think you hit the nail on the head Ratickle.
