While that is achievable in a very controlled test, (20 gal of fuel in boat, 1 pob) I do not think that represents real-world use and speeds. I would realy like to know what others are seeing in speeds with several pob and enough fuel to actually go somewhere.

I will post detailed data next week in my skater thread, and put a link to it from here.

actually these figures are real world figures. DPT Motorsports was onboard with me when this was done. i had between 60-80 gallons of fuel on board. it was in april of 06 in toms river NJ. was a 60 degree day with approx a 1ft chop and we actually ran outta water due to the end of the river. full of fuel 150-160 gallons and 2 people she ran 100-102 everyday all. previous best was 104 half full of fuel and 3 peeps on board in similar water.

It did run right at 100 after about 2 miles but I eventually broke a prop shaft. 100-102 in a 30 Spectre with that much fuel and people is very, very good.

How do the DW's run with weight in the boat? How much fuel do you carry for a race?

Hi , after reading all the posts about DW, i see lots of u guys running 30s 32s etc 3 blade cleavers, i realised in xcats nobody uses them, i hear they are quick but to much vibration ,is this the true reason they dont use them ,fanx ?
