who's got the fastest 29?
 

I dont want to start a pissin match here but i know some of you boys have some pretty damn fast 29's (singles)!!! I am curious what numbers some of you are running?

You talking in the water or on the trailer??

I bet the first liar don't stand a chance:evilb:

Around here they all are faster until... well you know:bsflag:

There may be 1 or 2 that broke century mark not sure:rolleyes:

I'll play...

Gotta list power and drive

Just to be clear this was in reference to all the trailer racers in my area and not on this forum. My 90mph boat has outrun about every 100mph boat in this area for some reason or another.

What power/drive combo?

HP525
ECU Early Program
28 Pitch Labbed Bravo
Bravo 1 XR Lefty

Half windshield
1 Driver - No passengers
No water in tank
Low fuel
Salt water
Running current
Light chop
Trim @ 4.5
Tabs @ 2
Running loose on pad w/ frequent air

88-89 GPS MPH doesn't happen every day but I captured it on this day by design with perfect conditions.

whats the normal high speed, and what rpm not to bust balls here just sounds high for a stock 525. at 5200 rpm that would be 3% slip and at 5400 rpm thats 6% for a bravo 4 blade thats incredible numbers congrats anyone else with speeds.

The ECU has been played with = more HP Artie!!:D

I get 77 gps on a 27 fever in a lake. 5,000 RPM labbed Bravo 28 RH. (no step bottom) Imma change my blower pully and have the blower serviced. it's gotta do 80 or so then... :D

5400 RPM, When I captured the previous GPS run, my boat was flying a lot...
Yes - ECU has an old map program.
This is the "normal" high speed, running totally light again - but OP was looking for FASTEST...

Hey Mark dont foget the 8mph current helps to:lolhit:

theres some old threads on this....didnt that guy in Fla have one with 1100hp or something that went over 100.....or are you talking right here today

Yes I spoke with him on the phone briefly,he was out of Naples,Fl and was running a blown Chief engine with intercooler around 1000hp. A imco sc drive 36p 5 blade maximus If I am correct and claimed he nailed 105mph all day without a problem (I believe it was a earlier hull 01-04) If I recall correct Brett@Bblades knows the details! Later I think I saw the boat for sale on here. He also said that there was another 29' called problem child (I could be wrong on the name)and told me they were hitting 112+

There is a guy in S. Carolina that can run 110+ 1200hp quad rotor motor.

"Roger" has a very fast 29, but it has twins (575 NA's). Accelerates like a rocket. I rode in it when it had 540's (if I remember correctly) and it would literally pin you to the seat when he would "push" the throttles. :D :D

I own a 2001 29' that is pretty much stock except for some minor tweaks. It has the 575SCi in it.

It loves cool air and warm water (well warm for Seneca Lake that is 600+ feet deep). Ran a few days ago at 91.3 (gps) on flat water. Waiting for cooler air and about 10" chop. Should hit 93+.

It's for sale too. I will take 60. I am looking for a 35 staggered if anyone knows a real good deal (of course) and only used in fresh water.

Trent Wyant ownes the fastest 29 single engine !!!!!

Good numbers for that boat. I have the same boat but with the 500. How does the hull handle at 85-90?

Handles fine once you get past the 78mph chine walk deal (at least on my boat). There is a subtle trick to that part.

Above 85mph you have to focus on flying the boat level. That is real important as most of the boat is in the air. You kinda need to have a knack for that I think or it can get away from you real quick. I guess i am saying that you have to be seriously focused when driving that small a boat that fast, especially with other boats mixing up the water.

Sounds kind of hairy to me. I think the answer is no. It isn't stable at 85 and 90.

I wouldn't say it isn't stable. I am simply saying that you need to pay attention and not get complacent or you can get in big trouble. That is simply due to the speed. Too many people don't respect these things and that's when $hit happens. It is as stable as the driver is smart (and capable).

VP knows how to run his, ran next to him at 90 in nice chop one morning. No wakes to cross, ran flat and true.

I could make you a "deal" on a staggered 35 ! You know, special discount for a friend:ernaehrung004:

Kelly, you selling?

What's next,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:party-smiley-004:

Thanks Kelly O for your added clarification.

As Reggie states, Fountains are the fastest and safest boats on the market (but he should add the word vee-hulls) because this is a vee and it is only 29 ft and when it goes 91+ mph you need to pay attention.


So Kelly, are you brokering a boat or is this your's that you are giving me a smokin deal on :eek: ???

Is your boat the 29 /575 in the classifieds with the high windshield? Theres only one listed in NY with the 575.. j/w.

VP You are welcome.
As they say, everything is for sale. Could I broker my own boat, therefore increasing my sale price while talking about myself in the third person ?:lolhit:

Wildman, seen anything available worth checking out ?

No,,,,,,,,,,,, but it would be cool to see someone step up and finish the green 47 CS that was in the classifieds.:drink:

Not sure but yes it has the 575 SCi.

My 29 has a (grey area) from about 80 to 85 it gets a little schetchy but it smooths out quite a bit after that. It likes 1-2 foot chop and the fastest I have run Is about 92-93. But if you drive the boat it works!!:eek:

DIRT, 92-93 is great and I agree with your handling statement - is your's a single too - and does it have a "close to stock" 575 SCi like mine?

29
 

What prop & pitch are you running and at what RPM?
