Speed Racers:
This one, affectionately known as "Little Speed"

And "Big Speed", 6 seater (now) open cockpit owned by Bob Christie; running "big" power.

I've been on Little Speed, and that boat is a blast to run. Randy took me along on a back from Hawks Cay some time back, and that boat rocks. It's compeltely tricked out inside.

Another overseas.

Just curious.
Two originals that I know of, Little Speed (40 Canopy w/525's) that Randy "Wild" owns and Big Speed the open canopy MTI with big power.

You can ask Randy "Marine Concepts" about both of them he had them built.

I also think there is also another clone over in Europe that they just added the Speed Racer stickers to if my memory is correct.

no way this thing runs 125 with stock 525... if it really runs that, why run 800 or 900's high dollars engine to run 140 mph ... ???

makes no sense to me, but I never had a tunnel...maybe you guys did!!!

but if it is !!! these are great performance numbers! cent vingt cinq mile a l'heure ! Jeff P31 ! penses - y !!!

That's funny stuff... Little Speed is a cool boat. Turn-key, reliable, lots of custom parts and you can still walk away from most V-bottoms. Ehh.
