Default Nice 40 Activator

My mechanic spent a little time here and there for 3 years to get this thing going.

I'll try to get more pics, but it has triple blown small blocks at 700 HP each going through TRS drives.

Pretty cool. I'll bet it runs pretty strong with that setup, even though it's 'different'.

He only has 4 hours on it this summer, so he hasn't gone over 4800 RPM. Limiters are set for 6500! They are 434 CID so they are not that small.

It's a really cool looking boat. He also has 3 foot tall speaker enclosures that come up out of the hatches on actuators. I think there are 12 speakers per box complete with strobe lights and "Activator" logos.

I'll keep you posted on top speeds, etc.

My mechanic was told it ran a best of 106 with the old motors in it, so it probably was your buddy.
