Awesome!!!! That Hustler really accelerates.:D:D It must be the Whipples by ours does the same thing.:D They pull hard for a big boat!!!

Re: Boating in December
 

Fountain40,
Those are Whipples in the Hustler. That thing is so silly fast its not funny. The motors are Young Performance 925's. One made 967hp and the other 963. They are 598 ci with single 3.3 Whipples. The drives are ASD 6's We have been in the teens with it but only for a second since it is out of control. Who knows how fast it can go. No one has balls big enough to run it that hard. It runs about 65 at 3000 rpm and 94 at 4000 rpms and its never been to 5000 rpm. I think it still needs a little more prop, but we don't want to lose any acceleration. It will actually out run the gps speedo. If you accelerate hard and back off, the speed will continue to go up before it starts going back down. The owner only wanted to be able to cruise at 70 or 80 and not work the motors.
The 38 Stryker has a pair of Young Performance 750 carb motors. That was the first run for it. We preceeded to beat the snot of it all day. The whole boat just got re-rigged and updated. Definetly one of the best rigged, best equipt, nicest and fastest Strykers you will ever see.
The cat is a 24 king Cat with a Young Performance 502 blower motor. Its pretty mild, making only about 700 hp.
For everyone that was there, thank you for the best day of boating that I have had in a long time, maybe ever. Can't wait to do it again.
By the way Matt, excellent job!!!
Eddie

Here's a short clip of the Young Performance 750's in the 38 Stryker. I have a few more but they are to big. I'll work on getting them up shortly. Eddie

Re: Boating in December
 

I have more video where Eddie and I were filming Mean Streak in the 388 Hustler. I need to get it to Game on to edit and up load. That was one of the best boating days I have ever had. What an awesome AWESOME day!! Thanks again to Eddie Young for making my boat go faster than it ever has before!!.....and we haven't even got it dialed in yet!

Re: Boating in December
 

Somebody had to take over! :eek: :drink:

Re: Boating in December
 

I'd love to see some vids of the Hustler running!!! Thanks Young Performance for the info on the boat.

Re: Boating in December
 

My pleasure

Re: Boating in December
 

Thanks Joe....I am a proud member of the 750's club!

Re: Boating in December
 

John, glad to see another Stryker running! We had our Thunder out a couple of weeks ago. Love that boat!

Jim in Texas

Re: Boating in December
 

What about boating in January, and in MI no less. I know it is not the same as an OS but our neighbors took their ski boat out of storage and went water sking on December 31 st and January 1. I doubt there are many people in MI that can lay claim to watersking the last day and the first day of the year

Re: Boating in December
 

WOW....Thats more ballzy than us..we werent even in the water!! Can someone say shrinkage???

Re: Boating in December
 

I would like to post the pictures but they sent them to me in the kodak gallery format and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to save them other than an e file.

they did have dry suits on and said the coldest part was their feet because they had to get their boot on and off. They tried not to fall and keep their face out of the water, but each skied three times pretty hard. New Years Eve day was pretty nice and no wind sunny and mid 40's but yesterday was a lot colder, pretty windy and there was a nice chop when they went out.
I tried to talk Mr P into going with them, but he prefered watching from the window as he soaked in the hot tub trying to rid himself of his New Years Eve hangover:drink: I will try to figure out how to post a picture.
