I only cheerlead the motor that is in my boat. we ran at 7000 ft , 61 mph @5000 rpm for 20 miles.. Jeff stretch at "speed o motive" built one hell of a motor.
sorry you had trouble with your engine. been there before.. If I could afford to run 400 gallons(what the boat holds) of race gas plus a methanol tank i would not be running a Hallett with a little 540.
When your in Vegas look me up when you get into town. I'll meet you at AVN if you have a ticket for me
Good luck with your New engines. I hope you get a lot of trouble free hours out of them..

Curious, we met two of the gorgeous Skaters that came from out west at the dock in the Ozarks when they were launching in 2006 or 2007 but I believe both had problems and did not get to run in the shootout. Were these the Skaters that you have been discussing, Predator and so forth??? Again, we saw them launch at Bergers Marina and talked with them for quite a while during a nice little rain we got that morning. Hope to see them back this summer at the Shootout.
Lance had a belt issue but we got to run the Shootout.

And yes I was at Tahoe and Preditor is one stupid awsome boat, I cleaned it for Gary before the run I have that special touch for an extra mph
Gary and his crew are a real class act! Thanks again Gary, and John for the great time

I ran at LOTO shortly after my boat was done. We didn't have it dialed or good props but we ran 148. A classic 36' Skater beat us "Hollow Point" was it's name. Good running Skater, can't remember what he ran but.. oh well. I know he never hit 175... lol

Hollow Point, Father and Son, Jeff and Daniel. Both great guys, I've done a great deal of business with them both.
