HPJunkie..
It is a 25' H2x... running procharged 1150hp from Steve Morris Racing (he has a website) and the boat was rigged by Ben at Precision Power Offshore in Grand Haven. The drive was built by Dick's Performance Marine, out of Holland, Michigan.. I know this, because I built the drive.
Dan doesnt know how fast it will go yet. The boat was put together with a fresh motor and fresh outdrive on Tuesday and Dan ran it easy Thursday and Friday. Sat was the first time he pulled the trigger!!
Thats the whole story in a nut shell... What a ride!!
Congrats to Dan for his efforts and driving skill!!

Re: 109MPH Baja
It reminds me of going out street racing back in the day. Some nights you might just get smoked by a sleeper grandma-mobile.
When I first heard the announcer say 109, I thought it was a mistake. Good job to all involve on making that thing fly.

Mr. Gadgets,
Just courious was anything done to the hull/deck to reinforce that Baja? I would feel pretty confident saying that the hull wasn't designed to go over 80 let alone 100!!!!!!!!!

Re: 109MPH Baja
Sounds like Mr. Gadgets & Nauti Kitty pretty much summed it up.
All this was relayed information so correct me if I'm wrong.
Fella I work with is related to him.
572 ci with an M4 procharger thought it was (around)
1,200 hp. and had 1069 ft.lbs. of torque.
Heard the same that it was still pulling across the line
and ran out of fuel too. Lite load I guess LOL
Anyways pretty cool & Crazy hopefully continues to be
Safe too
Believe his name is Dan Bining........
