Trust me, I am not impressed either.
In fact, I posted on HB that: "Magazine articles? So what. My cousin was in Hustler, She ain't real smart either."
I had never heard of him until I saw his threads, then checked his site and googled his shops name.

Nice pics Sharkey. I didn't see the run, but I know he would be one to sandbag.
I can see everyone's point of 100.1, but 87.1 is haulin asss on the water!! And faster than the majority of boats out there. Now that TD had the balls to show up and make the run, when is someone else going to challenge him?

Believe it or not, that has happened to me and a buddy. We had picked up the two hottes chicks in the bar. They didn't even know each other, next thing we knew, they were dancing together. The worse thing was, we weren't invited to join. True story. Not a double digit story.
. Same chick that kok-blok'd me wed nite hahaha

Disclaimer: I have no money, time or partnership in Rich's boat. What I am is a friend with some seat time. As was posted Rich's boat went 87.1 today. I have some video of when he did this and a couple of pics. I have posted them on Hot Boat as I cannot post attachment here. That said I do not know if that is all Rich could run today or if he was sandbagging. That is between him and the man upstairs. I believe Rich is disappointed that he did break 90 even in todays conditions. Weather was close to 100% humidity and in fact it downpoured as we got the boat home. But Rich showed and ran like promised, not like others that were a no show. I add that if I didnt promise to be there I would have rather been sitting in my pool that out in that heat and humidity also. Todays conditions caused a loss of at least 500 rpms. Those of you that have race engines, turn a wrench or understand the workings of a naturally aspirated engine know that today was not ideal conditions to do a speed run, but he did cause he said he would. Those of you who don't understand that I can't make you. No excuse just fact of mechanics. I will also add that I have never been in Rich's boat and done anything less than low to mid 90's. I also have never been in Rich's boat in this kind of heat and humidity. I also have never been in Rich's boat at 100+ but I do believe it is capable of this under the right conditions.
Tim and Bernie I consider you both stand up gentleman in this sport and it was a pleasure meeting both of you. Bernie I wish you all the best on your birthday Friday. We will do this again under better conditions and hopefully Tim you will participate like the professional you were today. See you on the water. Mike

i'm not starting anything here... but listen i'm no pro but i think the 87.1 is very impressive.... i also think the guy rich or td was pretty tough to show up at all and he did say he would take challengers... nobody showed.... the triple digits does take away from the sleeper thing but nobody believes him any way....
so t.d. good job.....
still be cool to see a hundred out of that boat but impressive anyway

I'm also sick hearing how he "manned up" and ran 87. What if I claimed my jon boat would hit triple digits, then showed up and ran the 22 mph it will do on it's best day, did I sitll "man up"? He's still a lying pos, no matter how much back peddeling he has done, and I can't be bribed by a cigar to say anything else.
