The "yellowboat" that now has the Arnesons has more speed potential with the current power, I found out they blew an engine during the sea trail, so a rebuild and try again is in order.

I don't know how reliable the 920 hp figure is/was or the current 720-730 figure for that matter. A different set of propellers is needed as the sea trial was just a seal trial and any prop would do. I at least have a better idea as to what propellers they will actually need "at this power level" to get the boat to go faster.

anyone know how fast that 38 is with cobra 1150s and dry sumps?

sorry not tryin to hack ur thread, but how bout the new 38 with cobra power? its post #1452

It will run over 120+mph easy, pretty smooth up to 117 to 118mph after that it's a hand full!!!!!!!!!!!! here's pictures of that other boat.

Thanks BLee,
and true, we can run 108-110 any day with half tanks of gas... I'll try to make a video of it this weekend....
we run Torco RTF in our drives, so I don't think we lose that much to the half dry-sump 6's.... now if we had Vern do a complete dry-sump Weismann style drive...it would make more of a difference. Yes, we also have the Hering skegs already done.... I think if we need to go faster it would be cheaper to just change the pulleys.... I finally got a copy of the '07 Rum Run race (which I must say we got some good coverage).
Tried to PM you, but it didn't work...let me know if you want a copy.

Nate, the red boat, I think it has 1000hp Cobras and the yellow boat has 1200hp Cobras. The red boat is really good looking boat.

Sorry Tom!

I have my PM's disabled to weed out the "why doesn't my password work" bombings.....:party-smiley-004:

I'd LOVE a video of your boat! It's always been a favorite of mine since the first time I saw it. I'll send you my email through PM, and you can send me ANYTHING you want involving that boat. :drink:

Thanks a lot for the info, i cant believe 120+ in a TG. And i hafta agree with you about the red boat, one of the nicest TG, up there with hot for teacher

What about the purple boat with the #6s? That has to be right up there in speed. Sorry I can't find any pics.

Hey Rik

What up buddy. I did a 38 2001 Top Gun nonstep with 900 Zuls #6 that ran 102-104 on its best day. 2000 TS F2 Dick Simon Boat ran 90-91 0n its best day so yes it is possible to run 100 with 900hp on bravos

Thanks dude. It seems they are very random with their speeds and power.

Was speaking with someone and they claimed the old Team V 38' will run 100 with 600 hp? The boat has no cabin and such but that would be fast.

'03 TS Gun "Out of Control" is back in Miami. Phil is tweaking it and he believes the boat will run more than the 105mph posted in Powerboat Mag....
105mph - 750 Zul's with Bravo's....:evilb:

Does that boat have a cabin?

half cabin - facing benches, ice chest, storage closet - I forget the term Cig has for it.

Got to think 920 hp was auto trader hp not dyno hp. I have a pair of 500hp motors with pro chargers that dynoed at 745hp ,so I would think that number is a lot closer to what your working with . Good luck ! :ernaehrung004:

Cold water is also more dense and therefore makes the boat go faster because of better buoyancy.
And If its the Moscow River we are talking about well it´s fresh water so during summertime it makes boats go a lot slower than in saltwater.

Hey Chris, Incredible Pic, one of those near glass days to the island ! Hope things are great with you guys...

Motors detuned to 680 (gotta make them live) and time for a sea trial

:eek: Jeez at first glance I thought that second pic was an overhead shot of the boat sitting on a rack on the pavement or something. Its sitting in the water in ice!!!!

Yea, there not fair weather sailors.

So we need numbers how fast and how did it run?

5,100 = 94

Over propped now. Need to drop 3" of pitch and then speeds will rise.

Keep us posted on that.

Any update?
