Yes, but a light lay up race boat. It is now the Broadco boat.

By the way, the 40ft MTI's are with the tails sticking off the back. A 40ft MTI has the same bottom length as a 36 skater and runs similar speeds. Speed Racer/ now Brodco is a true 36ft.

Art DiNick has run 140s IN A STANDING MILE several consecutive years at LOTO Shootout w/ 800s AO 3100. Seems like seat time and setup trump most all obstacles, IMHO.

A 36 Nortech is actually 38'8" long. It's a big 36.

Should do about 115-118 with stock 700s.

I'll argue that those 525s were "stock" also

The difference is 20 years of technology.. I had a 95 Awesome 31 with 700hp x 2 & my brother had a 05 Nortech 36 with 525's that could outrun it .. 110 vs 115 iirc
