THere is a boat in in NJ , Ruthless , an older 46 with 1300's and seats 5 open cockpit ,ran 177 mph on radar at the shoot out here ! He said they were doing bigger motors this year !

Why did they say they use escorts with that boat ? If it's on a tilt trailer ,thats the purpose , to raise one side ,kind of stand it on end , so that it is under 8 1/2 ' wide at the cross section . A 46' Skater is 12' wide . You don't need escorts till you are over 14'. I haul my 39' x 12' Ocean express cat all the time with no problems . Just have over size sign front and back and a flag on all 4 corners .

THat boat sounds cool though with closed canopy for 5 ! Probably air conditioned too ! Run rain or shine ! Now thats boating ! :cool: :cool:

Yeah..........
 

Here it is on the trailer in front of the show.

And..................

Nice boat but what's with the half naked chick in the lower right corner !!!:D

I don't know? But, I wish she would turn around!

The guy that owns this thing is experienced with high speed cat driving! His last boat was a 36 Skater that, I believe, ran in the 150-160 mph range! At one time, I think his old 36 had a record set at 179 mph?? It was at the poker run in Havasu last year.

24- Very good to hear.........the Dot com high performance boater scenario gives me the creeps........Doug

What was the name on his 36??

Guys the boat ran 158 out of the factory it's first weekend on havasu. It's a big heavy ride with lots of extras but it will never see anything but the back of scott's boat. It's mighty fine none the less. NK

OSO God #2..................tell us about this one!!!
 

Steve.............more 411 on this please!!!!
