Reggies had kilos before in winter. You get some big numbers, but be careful of the ice on the ramp.

Not too shabby for an old Center Console. http://aycu08.webshots.com/image/387...2786090_rs.jpg http://aycu11.webshots.com/image/415...6358601_rs.jpg WORLD RECORD!!!!! (Because I say it is!!) Top speed of 101 MPH with 2 MOTORS If I had a big gold necklace with a medalion on it.....I bet it would have been official.:angry-smiley-038: http://aycu19.webshots.com/image/422...5067888_rs.jpg http://aycu26.webshots.com/image/397...9248677_rs.jpg |
In MAY.....they did this with FOUR 300's
May 18, 2007 – Washington, NC – "Fountain Powerboats, in a two-way average speed of 87.6 MPH, set the American Poker Run Associations (APRA) center console world speed record. The kilo boat was a Fountain 38’ Tournament Edition, named CorporateCars.com, powered by four 300 horsepower Mercury XS Optimax engines.
Conditions were less than optimal with a steady north wind coupled with a six to 12 inch chop, which proved to be no match for Fountain’s positive lift hull design". I almost forgot....here's the video: 87.6 MPH Fountain w/4 motors lol......87.6MPH... less than optimal conditions....1ft proved to be no match.....lol....lol Sounds great to me!! I gotta get a necklace !!! |

400 HP Verado..... I'm only saying that because there are only 3 motors on the current "Beast".....1200HP....and you sure in the hell don't want to slow down from the previous "World Record" of 87.6MPH.

I love your Talon. Maybe I am looking on the wrong site, but do they not build that boat anymore with outboards? I see it on the Hustler website with a 496ho. Your boat looks very nice!
