fastest a single 27' Daytona has gone?
 

????????

Good question SkyDog, I'd like to know too.... I was talking to a guy at DS recently, and he has an 05 27 Daytona, standard deck, for sale,w/ a Boostpower quad 1100HP, and he said the boat is capable of 130+mph, but idk.....

Anyone know?... I'm sure someone has gone faster at LOTO or somewhere.... I know Teague drove a 25 to 144mph several years ago...

Yea sounds right I have a std deck and about 1000hp boat has gone 127mph. But for much more need a 1.25 gear and I know that will not hold up longer than a week if lucky. Haha I think 135 could be had with 1100hp and that gear.

Hey, let me ask you about the standard deck 27... Do u perfer the half windshields over the 27ICC... I've been in a 30ICC and hated looking into the canopies... My dad and I were discussing possibly selling the 25, and moving up to a 27 Standard deck, we aren't real fond of the canopy 27s...

Do u get nice wind protection with your 27?

Yea love it can see great and like no wind in front two seats. Love the 27' best boat for me and what I do!! So far........:coolcowboy:

Yep, I agree, the 27 standard is a great looking/handling boat.. thnx for the tip on the wind... I wasn't sure, haven't been in one yet... Great boat for havasu, single engine, but still big enough to handle the lake chop...

Yea I love the new Speedster too!! Never thought about that good point. Plus no way I am buying a new one. With the power I want it would cost way way to much for me haha Good luck man!!
Skydog

Speedsters look amazing , of course, my only issue with it, is have u noticed with the full/wrap windshield its very difficult to access the bow of the boat from the inside... U have to climb over the top of the windshield.... im not sure, but there's no room to walk around the sides, boats not wide enough...... What do u think?.... I like the stand deck 27 and canopy boats, bcuz you can access the bow by simply stepping bwtn them....

For sure buddy !!!!

But, the speedsters look awesome, in person.... I'd love to take a drive in one of them sometime.....

Do u ever come out to Havasu from ILL ?...

No but would love to some day......o yea Speedsters look unreal good for sure killer boat!!!!

Check out the classifieds on here... New listing, 28 Speedster
looks really nice..!!

damn thats movin

1100 hp in a 27' 130+mph cake with right set up!!! Mine ran 120 with about 800-900hp and over 130 easy with 1100hp. With gear change high 130s for sure!!!

fast Eliminator
 

We have done 25's over 150 and 27' just over--meaning one of each--We will be building one this season with our 800 ci 2200hp motor. Stay tuned.:eekdrop:

27' Daytona with 1100HP.
Seems very stable at speed, i'm sure 140+ wouldn't be a problem.

Thank u that is me:-)

Skydog,

Just got off youtube listening to your motor idle on the trailer and in the water after the rebuild for the 10th time, damn we need more Go Pro from you. Sounds healthy!

More to come huge changes to the little 8 lol:-) Lots of Go Pro to cum :-):-)
Thank u Skydog

Curious, Did this thing ever hit the water ? What happened to Skydog ?

Well come on summer, this winter been crazy!!! Ready to pull her out and spin my brand new 36" for the first time with some huge power, meth on and boost up! :evilb:

Buck in his Nordic 28ss just went 151mph and just bought a prop hoping to hit 155 mph this week I think you got some work to do lol.

Wow thats killer love to see some vid!! Yea will need race gas and a gear change for starters! :-)

Any news on this?

Well ?

Skydog he hasn't been able to test his new prop yet. He is changing a couple things on the boat right now. When he was a desert storm it was missing on the top end of his run. Sounds like it will be back in the water in a couple weeks. So the 151mph is still the mark to beat. How is your coming? Bob just built a 26 daytona that went a shade over 141mph last month.

Sweet stuff!!! :-) :-) Going out in my in a few cant wait. Love to see the 130 mark again. Sure think it will, but my goals kind of changed. I have added over 400lbs in the radio setup! :-) :-) Not really what u want for speed lol. But really into music and a good time at the sandbar!! But we will see.........

I always thought the best tunes came out of the open headers on a boat, I could be wrong.

Well.she ran up well!! Past 130 on are short river. :-) :-) Vid to come, broke my sea strainer lid to inner cooler on my pass. Wow she has some speed in her for a fat pig!!!! Lucky not to send inner cooler threw motor.... will open up dump valve when new lid shows up....:-) :-)

Good catch on the sea strainer what a mess that would have been. Can't wait to see the video maybe we can hear the stereo at 130 lol. GPM I think your right the best tunes on the lake are a pissed off engine.

Yes that could have went real bad real fast!!! It was a long long idle back to the dock with pumps running. (the intercooler is force feed from nose cone) Crazy the stuff that changes and fails at speeds over 130....... seams like always something.
