A guy asks how much the 30' weighs and from there it somehow got to running 107. Even in your wildest/craziest dreams that boat has never seen 100+. Come on man. I'll have whatever he's drinking.

There' one in IL with 510 BBC's pushing 625HP each (if I remember correctly) with Kaama's, owner claims triple digits and with that package it should be pretty close to it. I wanted to buy it but couldn't make the $$ work at the time.

the tsunami raced with 570 s know it has new 725 s it had 30 s now has 32 s its just a mid 90 s boat it still has the older drives it raced with. so last season we ran it and had drive troubles half the time when we tried the higher speeds. so we run this season 5000 and we have still never even opened the thing up.. next season maybe new drives right know boat runs awesome with no sweat.

1.50 its not just that its old prop shafts lost a new prop so we replaced both and then we blew a gear in one drive . we were getting nickle and dimed all the time. so we have run 6 or 7 times now just 5000 no more than 95 ever and we will have a great summer and make it to fall river .
