thanks for the link, i see 96 mph in the vid, really impressive

Nice ROOST!!

Don't forget the one where he passes me like I'm going backwards....I was running about 60.

That boat is just awesome.

This was at the Kenosha Poker Run. The run was broke up into two groups for the start . First was the 60mph group then 10 min later the "fast" group.

I planned on staying around 90 (5000rpm) for the run from Kenosha to Milwaukee but when the fast guys started passing me I kicked up to 95mph and about 5300 rpm for a bit. It will go to 5800 rpm on that kind of water.

By the way: The NIOC put on a great run, if you are close to Chicago or Milwaukee watch for next years run.

Kurt, your boat is just f'n rediculous... :cool:
BTW, in the PR start vid, is that koolaid off to your starboard?

Yes

Bad Ass

Totally BAD ASS...

Some of the nicest stuff out on that lake... seriously.

That sounds amazing. I love blower motors.

sounds good.....nice set up

That is SICK!!

awesome set up.

Wow nice..just out of curiosity running those motors like that what is the life of them in hours before a rebuild or freshen up..or for that matter any blown motors..i was thinking about 100 hours??

1 word.....SICK!!!!

That Looks Bad Ass

damn I want some ASD's!!! Awesome vid.

Awesome, Old flatdeck is kickin azzz. Beautiful looking boat :drink:

HOLY SMOKES!

That's one awesome vid! So glad to see the Old School Cigs running strong.

That is what I was wondering. Whom ever built those engines knows what they are doing. Bad to the bone!!!

Wow, very nice!

That day the motors ran 30+ miles to the first stop. The second clip "passing Mike and Joe" was about 10 minutes later.

I don't keep track of hours but I pull the motors after two or three seasons. I don't run a real aggressive profile of a cam but use Isky tool room springs, very good valves, and Tand D shaft rockers.

I also spend time on the details of the oiling system and don't run the motors real lean.

Hey Kris !!! GREAT vids ya got there !!! Boat looks great and sounds real strong. Congrats on all the hard work you put into it, sure paid off. :drink: Hope to see you out on the pond soon.

Holy mother of god!!! That is the sh!t!!:eek::eek:


I assume you're rear passengers couldn't hear for a couple days!!:eek::drink:

Tom said his ears were ringing when we got to Milwaukee but he kept sticking his head in the engine room shooting video.

I have to figure something out for the vent openings to let air in but cut the noise for the back seat. In the front bolsters it's not bad.

Kris

Thanks for all the nice comments. Sometimes you wonder if a project is going to be worth it as your busting your butt working on it. This one turned out good but 3 plus years is a long time.

Now that is is done "HOW MUCH" is the selling price...

You won't see it for sale anytime soon. I built it for me.

Kris,

Awesome build, awesome boat!!!!

Brett

Thanks Brett

Wait til you see Bob's Apache

Kris

I was thinking Jesus Christ also !

I remember a few years back running over to Catalina and back during the SCOPE poker run in a Tiger with Teague 1000's and 6's. Had the Jeg style scoops with open intakes (obviously). I was in the rear starboard side, running basically wide open all the way there and back. My left ear rang for two days after!:eek:

Totally worth it though!:drink:

I'm really excited for our trip saturday. We got stuff for us and the kids ready to go. Life Jackets. Kool Aid - purple - so spills will blend in and cheetoos - I heard the baked ones don't stain... $20 bucks for gas, a six pack and the porta potty!!! I forget anything? I got a hair cut so my mullet doesn't get sucked in. See you saturday - I'll try and get the kids and Stef moving early.

Badass

Awesome vid... sick old school Gun! Congrats on the build!

Beautiful boat. Three years is a long time when you are working on a project, but IMO from what I see it's definately worth it. Great work. You have to grin from ear to ear each time you get in that beauty!!

Make sure the kids have sharp edged toys to play with and I think the orange cheese curls will match the blue carpet better.

See ya saturday

Totally BAD-ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Flatdeck is a far cry from my 68mph TRS sled. Congrats and thanks for posting that amazing video. Think I'm going to watch it again now....

Jack

Awesome. I can't run my engines like that. The oil gets too hot. What oil coolers are you using? Do you have a dedicated water pump for your oil cooler? What about your Transmission Cooler?
