Someone MAY eventually die in pursuit of this endeavor.
My guess: It won't be Reggie.

I figure its Duttweiler or Moran . There the top turbo guys I have seen But your talking boats now .

Like I said in the previous tread the next step will be 179-183 average .Beating the 171 average and the top 177 needs to be more than just a 5 mph increase .

But I hear Fountains boat is still in the mold.


Hope the weather is good up there Monday :D

yall be safe


Its all Rumors anyway? :eek:

I think the biggest fear is popping a motor and it turning[hooking] at above 170mph.I don't the the hulls have been tested in a crash at that speed .I figure they will disintegrate :(
