Re: Worlds fastest 36 Nortech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been on lake george with that boat running around and been in Jacksonville PR more than a few times. I dont think it goes 178, I dont think those mills are making 1400hp on pump gas. Thats not a hack on Bill, thats just my opinion... I have been around that boat and was at Keith's shop when the motors were there. I dont think KE would tell you they are making 1400..... BigCat was running the same motors with PSI's and making 1200hp on pump and on the edge. Ah, the debate continues!!!

Just to clear up any doubts...i was present and watching the 2 gps speedos....There was no glitch on the gps,this thing went right to 178 still pulling very hard....we went 160 at 43% throttle blade...comfortably i might add.So all you doubters will just have to ask Bill for the ride of your life....it was definetely mine!

I have been witness to alot of smack talk about boat speeds, especially when Sean was fiddling with cats. I have never seen Gators boat at over 140mph, not at Jacksonville on the final leg with Randy Sweers on the sticks when he was running against Jokers Wild, not when he ran with Snake eyes and when he popped a motor on lake george while running side by side with the 40 Skater. There was talk of a 160 mph run from the docks at ramp at Jacksonville to the docks for the poker run...only problem was that BruceK and I were right there putting our boat in when Bill put in and unless my Gladiator runs 145mph he wasnt going 160mph.
Better stand back, Sean says his next boat will be unreal....... he just needs to get the smoke smell out of the engines!!!!!
