fastest straight hull top gun
 

just wodering if anyone knows whats the fastest speed a straight hall top gun with side by side motors has reached what power and drives did it have thanks for any info

There is one that comes to Kelley's island sometimes I heard its just over 100 but never verified... Supposed to have 1100's don't remember drives... It sounds like 1100 hp engines big CI and big blowers

buddy Curts i think has seen 95 or maybe a little more around 96-97. "primal instinct" 6s with 950 chiefs

what about that black 42 staggered race boat? had big power with 5's or 6's??

OLDSCHOOL has wet 6's and big blower motors

42' with staggered 850s and 6s on boxes. said it ran 92mph

pretty sure this is over 100. so badazz

their was a 38 TG kevalar hull that use to run lake mi years ago,,the boat was all red and white in the midle,it had the name Next in big bold white letters..1350's # 6's on stand off box's and the drives and box's were also painted white and the owner would change pullys and carbs at any givin minuts to prove a point..with the engines at 1350 the boat did 109,,with the pully change and he would not say the hp the boat was soppose to run 120..the owner owned a big steel copany in indianna and i herd he was killed in a freak accident on his way to work..never saw the boat after that..

BTW the engines are starrared.. and i think it was 6 pack bolsters..

That is a beautiful boat. Well done. Too bad it's priced 75k high.

Fixed that for ya. ;)

I don't know of a side by side TG that went faster than mine when it had Sonny Leonard quad-rotor 1240's in it. It ran 112.

Some of the staggered boats went a little faster, but I've never heard of another side by side that got over 108...

Yeah that's "Doug's" boat now. It's a 90MPH Edition Top Gun with some big blower motors in it. 5 man bolster & barn door hatches make it look so hardcore.

Oh and PS: Craig's boat "Old School" has to be the fastest with that setup when he had the quad whipples.

That fastest side by side is owned by this crazy guy from MD... Love you bud :bunnydance:

I know one of those stag boat that has been north of 110 many times :party-smiley-004:

Blee your old 90mph painted boat does over 100 now.
konrads and 1000's @3-4lbs of boost. hasnt been pushed to the limits and dialed in with props for a best of the best number but 102 im pretty sure is the # at the moment

Hey Brandon....Is this your (your dads if I remember correctly) old 90mph Cig? Very cool if so.

used to be "the dealer"

Yes that's it! Man that was a cool boat at the time, & even cooler now. The current owner has done an outstanding job redoing it. Over 100mph? That's so awesome to hear.

Yeah it used to be "The Dealer" & my Dad owned it for like 7 years or so. I used to be the only one that would take it out normally so it was kind of "my" baby during those years. People would take pictures of it all the time.

It really needed to be redone when we traded it to Phil years ago, so to see it in the condition it's in now is one of the coolest things I've gotten to see on OSO. Thanks for posting the pics & hooking me up with an update.

Cool so you knew the boat..i remember the guy use to have racing fuel hauled to the docks in 55 gallon barrels to fill it up,boy was that a expensive boat to run..does it still have the same power in it ?

Hey tank when Brandon comes to visit we're coming up to bug u for a ride!!!

I'm boatless right now but Between Dan (38 TG), Tim (46 AMII), Kevin (42X) and a buddy Jeff that just bought Kevins old "out of control" Gun, we'll get you guys out on a cig for sure. Be great to see you guys.

That is super cool. Even cooler is the fact you own a twin to your dads (and your) old boat. I just like the father / son connection thing. It's very cool.

Havent heard much about it lately, but isnt "Hot for Teacher" a 100+ MPH boat? Oh, wait, I think its a TS hull...

Doug's boat has Donovan block 1000s in it. Dave Wesseldyk has "massaged" them a few times over the years.

I got a ride in that thing in some good ol' Lake Michigan 5' waves...I was the happiest deaf guy at the dock afterwards.

One of the ORIGINAL 90mph Cigs.

What about Runnin' with the Devil? What was the fastest that boat ran

Good call...RWD (Pfaff 1000's / #6's) was bumpin' 100

"Ruckus" was mid 90's but had X dimension issues (Pfaff 100's /#6's). "Come Fly With me" was bumpin' 100 (Zul 1000's /#6's)

And yes, Hot For Teacher is a TS and runs 110ish

With the right water, mine runs a strong #. High X Dimension 3A's and 1:62 Ratio and some Cobra Power. Not the fastest, but....

Could use some different wheels

i would have to agree. boat runs great!!

I think it's cool too. Dad got a 400ss after his red boat & hasn't looked back, lol. He still likes to go for a ride every now & then though. I think he needs a Huntress :evilb::drink:

Thanks for the compliments, now we need some warmer weather. Spring is coming!

Sweet!....nice engine hoist! Haha..

You still keep it in Lauderdale ? We need to hook up and hang like the old days....Automatic slims, what else can i say :party-smiley-004:

My buddy Kelly O helped me out with the hoist...Works awesome

Slims! What a heavenly place that was. :ernaehrung004:

We still have the spot for the 400 over at The Port, but we didn't take it down there this year. I really think my folks would like to buy something else to keep in Florida full time, instead of bringing the 400 back & forth each season. Another 400, or a Cigarette Top Fish would fit in the spot we own with no problem, & would be way fun for us on the Intracoastal! :ernaehrung004:

Thanks for all the info the reason i was asking is my dad is in the process or repowering his he has an 89 kevalar tg that had 900hp cobras with #3 drives and the boat ran 93 to 95 but now he is putting 1250s and #6s in it so we are just trying to figure out what it might run now

all i can say is, its all about the setup..also is it full cabin, cover girl cabin no cabin. That makes a difference

it is full cabin.we hope to get it to the water early next month and do some testing.

How did the 3's hold up with 900's??

is that Dave's old boat? if so why did you get rid of the chiefs? does it still say chief on the hatch?

Just Sayin' :D

:eekdrop:

I did, the picture that i posted was from last season, It now has Cobras.
