Yes and you just ruined the surprise! LOL :evilb::evilb:

There are two more 725-powered 382's currently in production. The first boat did run faster than 92, but all testing was done with a heavy load. Don't know why the silence, other than Formula doesn't tend to brag about top speeds. Maybe MadeItRain will chime in, but the altitude where he boats will definitely affect the numbers.

I do know that it delivered 1.2 mpg at 57 mph and 1 mpg at 80 mph. Nice.

That really is amazing. On a nice day I could run that 382 from here to Freeport/Lucaya in 45 minutes and use 80 gallons each way.:evilb:

I can't make it to Lake Powell to test it out, so my first spin in it won't be until the weekend of May 19th. I will report when I get back if anyone is interested.

Interested????????????

Oh yea!!!!!!

I can't even imagine how phyched :party-smiley-048:you must be to be FINALLY getting your new boat now that the Formula/Ilmor Engineers are done testing it! ;)

I am looking forward to next week, and the first time out on the lake. Can't wait to take her for a spin! You are right I am definitely psyched!

I have a short video of the first run. I didn't open it up all the way because of break in period. Hit 90 mph, 6 people on board, 3/4 tank fuel and 100 degrees.
