If it is the one with the blue paint job then the boat runs in the 120's now. It has been changed to #6's with 1000 bob teaque engines. Boat is real nice. One of a kind.

that is it... but the article claims rerigg gains of 40mph and that when delivered it only ran 72!?!?!?!

I thought that was wierd as well. Even Hot Boat tested one in the mid 80's I think.

Big Big difference in the drivetrain package that is in the boat now. Boat has had almost a full re rig

That does sound like alot of gain in speed. Granted he now has quadruple the HP. What kills me is that he spent all that money for the boat and assuming he sea trialed it before he took delivery he knew what he was getting into .Then to be pissed off because it wasnt fast enough then to spend an extra $200k on it to have it rerigged just blows my mind. Why didnt he just have it built that way to begin with and not have the headaches that he had. Do it right the first time it wont cost you as much in the long run. (Of course the article never did say if he purchased the boat new or used). He probably could get another 15mph if he lost those VI drives and installed Teague drives (alot less weight and can still handle the HP)

forget the rerigg... twin 525s...twin step all epoxy...72mph? something aint right....how come no one is up in arms about this but the apache/chief thing went 10pages in ten minutes cause it wwas delivered dirty?... this thing could not go that slow... did he forget to trim up

i dont buy it only ran 72... a straight gun with 500s runs that

I am hoping someone from Dragon jumps in. Either the 72 mph was a typo, someone other than Dragon rigged it, or the boat is a turd! What is the story here?

Craig Barrie(?) when in Miami even stated 90 with 525's. I'm hip with the typo theory See it all the time in PB, and any other mag for that matter.
