The Mig is owned by a guy named Dan. He's an archetect in Florida. I want to say up towards Orlando somewhere. She's got a 500 in her now I think. I blelieve her motor is in the Donz top gun now.
I noticed Adam's boat in the Daytona mag pic as well. Cool pics and certainly a shared Gene pool!
As I recall, the Mig had a short stroke 572 with a 14-71 on top of it. Big power. The high X dimension bravo with a six blade prop when she did "the number"...
So if the Mig only has a 500 nowadays she really aint that bad anymore......thats a shame. With a 500 how fast do you guys think the Mig is running? Just over 70?
If we are talking about boats that arent currently running their big motors (like the Mig) I guess I could mention that mine ran 97mph with the old motor in it according to previous owner. I have no way to verify but Jeff wasnt a BS guy. Actually I got to get ahold of him and ask him....lol. Boat now runs 82mph on handheld gps with what I was told was 710hp but I am not sure it was making that much power before it blew up because Jo thought I should be running closer to 85-86 provided I lab finished my 4 blade 26p bravo.
Jo might know a little more about that old motor/setup.
I agree, and has some big power, but havent seen it run, he was supposed to run with us to key largo once, but one of his family members showed up in a CC and explained he had to work.
Dan the owner of the Mig lives in the Florida Panhandle.
F1-71 did run in the mid 90s here in Miami with the blower motor with the previous owner and I.With a true 710 HP motor you should be running more than 82 MPH.
There is a bunch of other bad azz Pantera 28' single. Here is another with a Cobra 725 HP owned by Mike in Maryland. Top speed 85-87 MPH with a full pleasure set up.
IMO there´s three contenders from Sweden All Arrow 830´s
Manges nowadays Gulf coloured 572/900hp SC(Autorotor screw)/EFI/IC boat at @100mph
Christell Racings Special edition with a Vortech and 632c.i @ 1025 hp
And then the Swedish Bluer Ribbon holder "Gulan" a former raceboat.
