278 lbs drag boat
 

Just wanted to share a little project that is being built.


Here is the latest 19 out of the mold. It is all carbon fiber/resin infused/foam cored. It came in at 278lbs complete with stringers and bulkheads. What is really different is the fact that is not a flexi flyer. This boat is solid. Should be intersting to see what it will do this year at the drags.

My brother weighs more than that boat.:eek:

LMAO:evilb: So does mine.:eek:

What will the power be??? Is it a V-drive or OB?

Looks nice. ;)

Nice! . . . my buddy has the same hull. this one came out of the mold in the 350Lb range. Its carbon/kevlar and was just hit'in the low teens last weekend. Bad ass boat and pulls like crazy :eek:

A normal river lay up would be about 700 lbs. A normal hand laid fibergalss race lay up can get as low as 300 to 350 lbs, but would be very flimsy and weak. An infused fiberglass race lay up would be 450 lbs, but stiff and strong. We wanted the boat to be under 350 and stiff. We are more than happy with the results. Mike Miller will be racing this boat this year at the drags.

530 inch, 1200hp just on the engine. 1500hp with nitrous. jet driven The boat should do 135 on the engine and hopefully get over 140 on the bottle.

Jet boats blow :evilb: :evilb:

That is impressive man congrats!!

:cool: Very Cool

Them boys got balls.

How much for a hull/deck with knees for outboard?

Hell yeah , how much for a bare hull. I have a couple extra mild b.b Chevys, and a couple small blocks laying around . Think I could use my complete Alfa set up on it. Not worried about racing just want a fun bar hopper for the river.

hey bad ass are you the new owner of the mold . I delt with tommy for meny meny years ..........................jet connection preformance marine in toledo ohio ................we own the carbon kevlar boat that dave posted give me a call 419 473 boat

No acttually we built the hull here at Ultra for a customer its just too sweet of a hull not to share so I had to show it off. If anyone wnats a 19 like that we can easly set you up one.
