Congrats !!!! It is great to see the old school V-bottom ripping...very refreshing !!! I am sick and tired of seeing all the over priced Cat boats and CC's. Appreciate you sharing all of this with us all.

Cheers,

No question - the CC and Cat fad is getting really boring. Buy a way too expensive boat, slap some standard issue mercury racing outboards on it and your all set... Boring.

$20of fuel a minute at wot lol
If my math is right ....
800#.hr - the 10% added for E85 =720#hr
720/.60 BSFC =1200HP

This in incredible to see you achieve this after following all these years, I was just thinking about this thread and hoped you had a cool day to make the century mark before yalls weather turned. Your ability to stick with this project over the years has been inspiring to say the least. Man, I think we are close in age (44 here) I have to believe raising a family and knocking this project out had to of been quite the undertaking! Congrats!

I`m guessing the rake gets the bow more out of the water .

Wonder how much rake she would like ? '
18x31 R20 seems like the perfect prop to me .


Let me know when you are in the area
