I believe these are the official speeds that were averaged over one kilometer. Each one of these boats had to run a higher GPS top speed to achieve the official average speed.

Cat Piston Power = Bacardi Silver (now Budweiser Select)
202.907 One way; 198.072 Two Way
Cat Turbine = No Official Record Yet for Offshore Turbine Cats
Budweiser Hydroplane Turbine - 220.xxx Two Way (This is also the propeller speed record)
V Bottom = Fountain Powerboats
177.xxx One Way; 171.xxx Two Way

This is to my best knowledge. If I have made any mistakes or left anything out it is not intentional.

maybe cig should have fountain or ol build there next boat.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Either way, the boating community as a whole should benefit from this competition as new technology/know how could come out of that everyone can benefit from. As long as everything is safe, then may the best "man" win.

Now maybe Im wrong here but didnt Callan marine set a cat turbine record a couple years ago? Or did you not metion it because he doesnt drink your kind of beer and the fact that he smoked you 2 years in a row at the shootout? (would have been 3 but the people at anheuser busch saw fit to let miss bud run after Bacardi Silver couldnt beat them)

Im sorry Dave I love your boats and think its amazing what you guys do I just like stirring the pot a little.

Whoever better do it safely!

Where did Callan officially set the record at? The shootout should be very interesting this year since they both have turbines.

You are wrong - Callan has never set an official kilo record. Little doubt that they could - but they have not. Not sure where you're going with the Shoot-Out comments but the results speak for themselves and I am quite pleased with only a 16mph difference this year (185 vs 201) between my 3,000hp piston powered cat versus their 6,000hp turbine powered cat. Look forward to seeing both teams competing with 6,000hp turbine cats though!

Hey! I heard Callen was drinking AB products after the shootout
Mr. Callen and Mr. Scott are both great competitors and both class acts. This year should be great year at the shootout. It will be turbine vs. turbine. Then we can say may the best boat win.

My money is on Kilo Kat!!, I dont care if its Vee or Cat records I just hope everyone does it safely!! These Vee records are getting nuts, somebody is going to get killed!

You heard correct. Both teams got together after this years Shootout and had a great time on my dock.
Dave Callan, John Cosker and their entire crew are class acts and very strong competitors! I am proud to be able to call them friends.
