What's the fastest you have gone in a boat?

[Lubejobs42]

Yeah, welcome....

What model Bass Boat? And how did it handle??????

Sounds cool. I would love to see that. I don't know anyone was that fast back then. The way boating speeds have evolved that would be like 150 now!

Drove a 125mph Super V in 1998.

No back seat, high speed rides for me. Thank you.

What was a Super Vee in 98? Twin 500s and open top?

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Super V was 500 inch supercharged with any drive. I think it was 8500 lbs. Maybe 8000. The weight kept changing.

'01 it changed to Supercat Motors.

We is a pic in '99



Nigel ran a canopied Scarab. Teague ran Nordskogs old 40 open. And there was a open 41 Apache too. Oh and Ocean Spray in a Fountain

That explains the 125.

That explains the 125.

Thats what it went first season. The following season it went 140.

Basically now the same class is called Unlimited

were you driving? I would get out of my stv and my hands would often be shaking......sure was fun.

no i was along for a ride back in the early 80's. I didnt know any better

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I had a guy after a ride in my STV who said," I am going to go home, get my gun and come back and shoot you."

 

[Smarty]

I went 91 mph driving the Phantom on Labor Day weekend....My 15' Boston Whaler runs a solid 41 mph too!

 

[PARADOX]

Best speed. 8.7 MPH on GPS Or was it a sun dial?.
Rowin' my canoe upstream.

Best ride.... On the Rock in my little ole' 16' Hustler racing from State st. bridge to Spring Creek bridge. 72 MPH

Driving.. 96 MPH, Challanger Offshore-32, hull no 1, Twin 502's with Black Hawks.
Throttle 136 MPH in MTI. on LOTO

Scariest... trying to get back in the ICW at Boca during a storm. Two little kids, 6-8 white caps. 25+- MPH. Broken stringers. 25' boat. (Air and Sea show. circa 1995)

Craziest.. Jax River Run. Hitting all the stops in pouring rain with the "Crazy Seven". 2009
Most memorable... Taking the helm of my Dads boat for the first time back around 1966. Speed about 50 KPH. Surronded by the Chec. border patrols on the Danube becouse I crossed over the boarder. Navigation was never my best forte.. still isn't..

My 1997 15 Whaler with a 60 HP Yamaha 4stroke runs 41 but the chine walk is dramatic over 39......
