How Fast?
 

How Fast is F1-7 with the Tyler Crocket motor. I like the Shot Gun.... I know the first one has the 496 in it....How fast was that??

496 boat i believe did 82-83.

Two-Air, The 496HO pleasure boat runs 82-83 with a 29P 4 Blade (Not Labbed). The F1 boat with the Tyler motor has hit 84.7 and we ran out of prop. The boat settles down real nice after 82-83 and it just beggs for more. I'm getting ready to put a 600HP Tyler motor with a box in the pleasure boat and we will see... Dave

Dave I bet she runs just under 100 with 600HP:eek:

Shane, I would guess the same. Tyler is getting it ready for the aluminum heads. It should be interesting so to speak...:D Dave

Wardey:

Keep us posted... Where do you test at in the Tampa area??:drink:

Two-Air, the secret test lake........Lake Tarpon.:D Dave

Wardey:

Would like to see you attend some OPBA poker runs this season.... Or at least some "Fly Bys" Down St. Pete Beach!

Two-Air, I am planning on it. We are not going to race as much as we have in the past so I will be at a few. Looking forward to it. I had planned on making the Pub Run but I will be in Tellico next weekend. I just renewed my membership. Thanks, Dave

hmmm 84 uh huh then how come I'm doing 87 and your still passing me? sandbagger:eek:


Trent

ssssshhhhhhh.....I guess I can tell you, (we have a secret Nitrous bottle hidden under Franks seat).....:D :D :D See you in St. Cloud.....going up to your old stomping grounds this weekend. Dave

ok I'll call em and warn em:drink: :drink:

gotcha I guess that could explain why he walks so dang funny lately:evilb:

Hi Guys,
I live down here in Ft. Myers. I am looking at 3 brands of boat for my next one. Would love to get your input.
1. 29' Shot Gun Extreme
2. 30' Y2K Superboat
3. 28' Pantera Sport
Thanks for you help.

nice choices... wanna throw joker into the mix.

Extreme will have the tightest cockpit, and i'm thinking its a boat u gotta drive. But low 80s w/ 496ho...:cool:

Y2K probably most for your $. More modern styling.

Pantera's not normally a sitdown boat. But a great boat, not nearly as fast as the other 2.

My thoughts for hp was a nice 572 Tall deck w/650hp.
But, ...

i'm not sure dave would build an extreme w/ that power.
And a pantera would be slower w/ that than an extreme w/ a 496.
depends on the kind of boating you do.

I boat here in SW FL on the GOM and Intracoastal waterways. I boat with a group down here(Ft. Myers Offshore) and we do Fun runs about 1 a month. So I would like to be able to cruise at 60+ to keep up with the bigger boats.

So, what kind of boat am I looking for, ... a 30'er that will handle 6'ers, single drive, WOT in the mid 80's, and have "some" creature comforts in case I needed to sleep. lol
I guess that sounds like the ShotGun Extreme w/496?

And tell me more about the Joker. Or how to get ahold of them.

The Y2K does 68mph w/496 @ 375hp as advertised on website. (Estimating speed on Y2K w/496 @ 425hp at 72-74mph)
There must be some magic going on with the bottom of the hull on the Extreme to get an extra 10mph with only 50hp more.
I estimated that a Y2K with 650hp to be in the mid 80's.

I did call Extreme requesting more info.
I do like the idea of being 2 hours away from the Company.

Thanks again Stormrider

do a search on Joker Powerboats. If you looki in the classifieds, you can get more info.
You may also want to look at a 28saber, but like the pantera, its a bigger 28. I too like the idea of the builder being close by.
Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for the info Storm.
Well, 3 of the 4 boats are built within a 2-3 hour drive of my home. That leaves Superboat, the most boat for the $, a day away. lol I did find the Joker web site. Thanks again & updates will be coming.
