Hering says that the props are 17" x 29"m. At 6400 rpm, a 1.64:1 ratio, and 10% slip, somebody do the math, please...

I think it's obvious to everyone that this particular 382 is a milestone boat...not only for Formula but for Formula owners and fans everywhere.

This will be the fastest factory FasTech so far. I wonder how far into the triple digits this rig will go?

Even with that high X, I'll be surprised if it cracks into triple digits.


Looking really good though!

I got the same thing. As much as we'd all like this rig to run 100, I think that 96 is realistic.

However, since testing will take place in a week or two when the air is really cool...

This boat has to be getting close to being tested. I wonder if a live feed could be arranged?
