What everyone else said, you must smile ear to ear pushing those sticks down. Will this Formula get the respect from some of the Cig guys now, Formula now has a 90+ floating condo.

Congrats

GOD I hope it does..but those guys always have the BIG engine options that Formula won't touch...like twin 1150's that would push this boat WAY past 100. If I had the $$$$$$ to do it I probably would for the $hit of it.

Seriously..90+ is very fast in my book for a production boat.

The GREAT thing about the Ilmor/Indy 725 combo is that you have awesome performance in a package that doesn't have the ridiculous maintenance/rebuild schedules that the 1150's and other BIG dollar high perf. engines have... Not to mention the MUCH improved fuel economy of the Ilmors!

I am at 97 with 700 nxt's, you would think ilmores would do better than that! I think with herrings I could break 100. its not worth it to me for the 3 mph

I am going out again this weekend, and will open it up to see what it can do. It will be over 110 degrees so it will be harder to hit top speed. I hit 90 mph with 6 on board, and 3/4 tank fuel two weeks ago, but really didn't open it up all the way. This will be our second time out. I will let you know what happens.

That is exactly what I think too. Lighter engines with more power just seems like that 3mph is right there.

The new boat is doing great! I will be going to Newport Beach in September and can't wait to see how it performs at sea level and salt water.

I don't think it has the correct props and am doing a little research on different ones. Lake Powell is 3600' in elevation, and temperatures are in the low 100's and it hits the rev limiters (6500 RPM). At sea level it will have more power.

I will do a good flush and cleaning after the vacation is over so it will look good when you or Perfect Storm get it.
