TRIPPLEDIGITS : Put up or shut the f*** up !
 
Saw this on another site. It`s too funny.

This guy openly challenged everyone to a race, then starts making rules ... excuses ... etc ...

He is a member here too. (trippledigits)

From Speedwake:
To All the fastest Guys in the fatsest micro boat thread. This is a open invatation to race me. There are a few guys coming to NJ to race me and I will post the results on this thread. Dont get crazy this for micro boats only just what cfm started on his thread. Its for fun so dont get silly. I will also do some traveling if I think its worth it. Lets put the cards on the table and see who is realy going fast. I know how fast I go Do You?

What's the definition of a micro-boat?

Someone on SW started a thread about "micro boats". I believe it was defined as :
Under 24'
V-hull
I/O engine

Something like that.

Thats funny

And it comes not less than one week after a guy died when his "micro-boat" desintegrated at speed. Thats not so funny.

Thanks Donman. I don't get it. I guess anyone can invent a category for themselves these days and be a champ. :D

I generally don't frequent lesser establishments such as that other site, but with all the fanfare I had to check it out. Pretty hilarious. I'd love to see him try that here. :eek: ;)

Something like that? Didn't you post your boat over there?

OK...Here I am:

81.4 mph GPS

That`s with 23" prop spinning 5800 rpm.
Just got a 25" Mirage Plus. Will try it out this weekend.
To be honest, I was having a hard time with chine walk at about 77+. If I can keep it under control we`ll see what this new prop gives.

Here are a few of my latest engine photos:
