Single Outboard 106 mph!!!
 

Congratulation the Craig G!

Craig ran his Trick Powerboats 21 Sport to 106mph today!

Craig made several passes on the Colorado River today. 106mph down river and 104 mph up river.

This puts Craig right on heels of Kim Brodersen (Denmark) who ran his 300X powered 21 Sport to 108mph .

Wow, that is moving !! The power made by todays outboards is truely amazing !!

amazing

Congrats, I would be happy with mid 60's in my 24 pantera

Impressive speeds!

I believe Dirk Pitt, who posts on S&F, has seen over 100mph consistently with either a dialed in 21 Superboat or 22 Progression (v-bottom).

has he tried any of the bottom coatings like KISS Cote? That can pick up a few mph right there

That is really fast.
What prop was he running??

Jigsaw,

I know Dirk is running some good numbers in his boat. He has contacted us a couple of times about set-up.

Stainless,

He installed transom mounted water pick up to allow a higher X dimension.

Thanks for positive the comments

Here is some video of the twin 250XS boat

Very impressive.

Jeff,

Congrats!!!! Very impressive. I was also very impressed with the ride we got with you. Much more stable and in control that I would have thought. Speed wasn't to shabby either.

Later,
Mark

When an outboard is set up right, they are impressive. Doug

Jeff,
I saw on your new website that there is a 26 footer in the works.
Realy looks nice. Great price for a twin engine boat!!!!!
When do you think it will be ready??? That would be great for some of the fun runs up your way....
Please keep us updated with more info.
Thanks
John

Kiss Cote is a polymer coating applied to the boat bottom, lower units
skegs , props etc which can be done on top of what he's already done to pick up 2-3 more MPH

I believe Joker sold a 28 Joker to someone in the north east that is doing well over 100mph now.

John,
Here is a link to the information on the 26 VooDoo

The first boat is already sold. You will be looking at a summer delivery date

John,

He is running the new Mercury ET Pro in a 30" through 1:87's in a Sportmaster.

I can keep up in my 21' Daytona/300x with the 31" lab chopper. oh by the way, she is for sale.

Tuff 21.....104. V hull

We had one of our 21's run 108 mph with a 300X. It sold to a tunnel boat racer in Denmark and has ran 110.

Thats impressive. Great job guys.

You guys are crazy going those speeds on the water! Espically in those cat boats!!!

I would love to feel what that's like in a 21! I know the faster you go the shorter the boat feels. 106 in a 21 must feel nuts!!

I used to have 20' tunnels that had 2.5 race motors. 116mph. I had a 22' tunnel with twin 2.5s set to kill that ran 120. Those boats would scare me to death. The sensation of speed is much greater than going 160 in a big cat. Too many of my outboard friends were blowing over so that convinced me to go bigger.

The blow over factor got me too !!!! Guess I'm just too old.

About half of the boats we sell are going to Europe and the Middle East to F1 and/or F2 racers. So they are use to flying their boat.

They run pretty neutral trim and never feel too flighty. My twin 250XS 21' runs 115mph using 34 cleavers and it feels even more stable than a single @ 106mph.

Here is a video of it running. There is a slide show at the beginning and the video starts about half way through. This is the boat in the 2008 Mercury Racing Brochure

Nice video and pic's. Looks very stable and not at all like flying my old hydrostream @ 95 running on the cav plate !!!!! Love to get a ride in one of those .

Hunster,

If you can drive it like that, my hat's off to you! That looks crazy!

Yeah , it gets real hairy. Just dont get out of it fast either of the bow is straight up. That old johnson was pretty worked and had amazing acceleration , thats what I miss , getting thrown back when you punch it!
