A custom engine would have: headers cool sheet metal intake throttle bodies on the manifold intercooler separate from the motor trick tubing Doesn't sound like an old banks kit to me. At least banks kits had a little tubing. Those have none. |

I was at the shootout last year and watched you run. That must have some serious power to run that fast with no gear in that short of distance. How much does that old boat weigh? Why no gear? |

But lets not forget the turbodiesel motors. Jay Pilini put a pair of Yanmar 440s in one of his 36' cats and it is reportedly running 100+. MTI's chief rigger Gary Stray told me he could rig 4 of the new Yanmar 480s in the 44 and it would run well over 100. So turbomotors may well be the future, but not just in gasoline motors. |

Derebery's engines are 650+ci. I cant remember exactly. The boat wont be done for a while and the engines are going through a lot of fabrication. Lets just say the final numbers are going to be up there. |
Re: turbo charger Hustler?
all i know the guy in hustler booth was telling someone that boat ran 130 mph with twin 850 hp hahahaha :p now that's funny

Re: turbo charger Hustler?
All I know is, I've been to 115 on a 388 with 675 KE and Arnesons. 130 from 850s doesn't sound that far off, if you have the balls for it.

Re: turbo charger Hustler?
A common challenge in building motor packages for boats is the space confinements; height and width. KE attempted to keep the height to a minimum and the package as narrow as possible. While we have seen some wild pics of some high tech turbo projects which made tremendous power, most would not fit in a boat. Keep the width down and you install in stagger and side by side installations. Keep the height down, you possibly eliminate the need for a custom hatch. KE has been down the engine marketing road at least a couple times in his career :rolleyes: KE does however have a couple different versions coming down the road that are more technologically advanced and will no doubt make more power :D
