Banana Running Videos Here
 
Met up with Air Dog this past weekend. I've always been a fan of these boats, but this thing is just flat out menacing. I joked he should put a skull and cross bones on the engine ---but I really think the more I look it, is just might fit.

Cool boat. Nice guys.

Those are great Andrew... :drink:

In the second photo, I am telling the Coasties that there intimidating machine gun on the bow is no match for my Banana Boat. I then grabbed my flare gun and took off shooting... :blaster:

It was a short high speed chase, since those Orion emergency kits only give you like three rocket bullets... :D

Very cool Air Dog. How fast does it go?

DamDonzi:

I am guessing this is what your boat used to look like?

:confused:

Not fast enough...

Max speed with the 24p prop is 68mph.

I am ready to move up to twin 250's.

My close friend of many years builds engines. He is offering to wrench for me when I race, but he doesn't do outboards. He wants to put a 550hp I/O in Greenie, the "Spoiled Banana". I will have to talk to my team when the time comes on which way to go...

I am selling my white Banana in the spring in order to fund my next project... :drink:

I understand the molds for the 3rd gen boats have been corrected

you better check w Chatim,
Top Banana says the boats chine walk and roll over at 89 mph,
Chatims says there is a mean hook in the original molds.
You may need to do some hull blueprinting and fix the hook.

Thanks Evan.

I am not sure if Jeb took out the hook, but either way, the hull will be flipped over and blue printed prior to completing restoration.
