I think OSO Steve is going to be pissed you outed the new OSO boat! I go past that marina every weekend so I will keep an eye out for it.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

My Father was very close friends with the owner. His name is John Stullupi. He raced a Cigarette named Dillenger the same time my dad raced in 1979. He owned all of the Mega yachts over the years with 007 names. Octo*****, never say never, etc. When I was a kid I was so jelous of his son. He was 12 years old and his father got him a 31 Shadow cat with twin outboards. It was suposed to do over 90 which back then is like 200 now. It was the fastest boat around. (I guess Reggie was only getting started)
The boat is incredible. Everything in it is ultra light weight. The granite and marble are all synthetic which weigh only ounces. That's part of the reason it's so fast. I think they were trying to get some crazy speed like 70 Knots (don't quote me).

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Naw Millennium made a new cat for Steve :D



Gino I saw a show on TV about it saying it didnt handle very good :eek: over the 76mph that they were still working on it

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Wonder if it's got any steps?
:eek:

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Yep! I'll bet somebody's gonna' get a ''time out'' for this one! :D

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Yes it does. And real cool stainless steel railings to hold onto. :D

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Not knots MPH there want to get 70 mph but they have been having steering problems

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Real cool vidio though.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

So Even If It Cruised At 60 M.ph And Handled Great With A Top Speed All Aired Out Of 75 M.p.h For A 140 Foot Boat That Is Unreal :)
Next Thing Is They Will Take The Deisals Out And Put In All Turbine's That Will Save A Lot Of Weight And Bring It To The Tripple Zone .
It's Amazing What Money Can Buy And Motovate Someone To Build .

Very Nice
:)

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

I saw this on the travel channel and it has twin diesels and twin turbines to get its speed. They wanted 76 knots and only got 67 knots due to no steering at high speed.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Impressive, so say the least. I saw the same show Reds Outlaw, cool program.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

OMG! I got WOOD just watching the video! :eek: :evilb:

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Pretty amazing! :D

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

I just don't understand why all these Mega's go with water pump drives like jet ski's, the single most inefficient method of propelling a craft through the water.

Ex: my 10' supercharged sea-do with 185 HP, does about 57 MPH.

Put that power to weight ratio into a real "surface drive" with prop and it would go well over 100, if you could hold on and keep it in the water.

I just wonder what that 140' would do with custom surface drives?

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

wow....i saw that boat on the discovery channel or TLC. I wonder what the fuel consumption is at WOT, and how far you can go @ a reasonable but fast cruising speed?

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

66 Knots Is 75.9 Mph And That Was Only At 90 Percent Power.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

gotta love it, saw the title and was like, Yeah, its a Millennium 114 or 140

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Think I will trade in the NT on that boat! I think my Burb will pull it fine! :eek: Awesome machine

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Ok I got a question. Can my single axle diesel pickup pull this ok? :drink: Its only 2 miles to the ramp and I'll go really slow :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Sick......thats all I can say.
How would you like to vacation around the world in that for a year?

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

I don't know but the Gentry Eagle also used jet drives so there must be something about them that works for these boats.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

I bet it has something to do with weight? I wouldn't think a jet drive would be more efficient than a prop???

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Wallypower's 118 is a jet drive as well

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

From seeing that boat in dry dock in the late 80's I can tell you that it had one ginormous Arneson drive coupled to the equaly insane Turbine.

Also if I recall they used Diesel coupled to jet drives to get on plane then the turbine / arneson was kicked in and pushed the whole deal by itself.

Again just my recollection...


Found the info...

http://www.gentryeagle.com/engine.html

"Total, (2) MTU 16V396TB94 diesels each generating 3480 H.P. are coupled to KaMeWa #63 waterjets. The gear boxes are AFBU7755's. In addition there is a diesel fuel burning Lycoming Marine Turbine #TF40 developing 4500 H.P. coupled to an ARNESON surface drive turning a Rolla REXP 5 bladed cleaver. In addition there is a lube oil transfer system, engine alarm system, and fuel management system. Fuel consumption is approximately 328 gals per hour at 45 knots under the MTU's only, giving a range of approximately 1250 nautical miles."

Damn Straight. Party time. :evilb: :evilb: :drink: :drink: :cool:

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

There has to be a reason for the jet drive.maybe it the gear boxs or converting the rpm down??

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Good catch I had forgotten about the drive. :doggy:

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

69.6 knots top speed officially! But only 112 feet long.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

Only 114' :( . I supose I could use it as my yacht tender.

Yea right.

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

when the owner was asked about how much fuel the boat uses, he responded by saying

"you don't want to know, it'll melt your credit cards"

great quote

Re: 140 ft long and 76 MPH
 

That Millennium boat is breast taking.
