The man built the engine, rigged the boat and dialed it in. Very impressive.

That is sick. GT engines are sick.

Gary is a real nice guy, I have spoke with him in the past and he has serviced some of my engines that went out to the west coast. It's nice to know someone out there I can trust to oversea my stuff! Very pleasant to work with. :cool-smiley-027:

I have one of his TPI1100 engines, its just the rest of my set up that wont play nice!!

The engine is like a work of art.

He honestly thinks he can get a few more MPH out of his Howard.

It is being disassembled - gimble, engine, drive and the hull inspected before he does anything else.

Those short snouts on the whipples along with the pulley built on the dampner is a really cool setup! :cool:

i have always thought that he makes one beautiful motor that runs as good as it looks.
VERY NICE! :D:

Wow! That is impressive. I almost bought a 28 Howard Bullet but went the conservative route with a Formula 292. The bottom design on the Bullet must be incredible to handle that speed and be stable. Considering it is a relatively light weight rig being pushed by a single!

My customer in a 28 Joker went 110 last week on a 32 prop in 1 footers. (926 hp)Trying a 34 next and he said the faster he went the better the boat handled. He's shooting video next run and I'll post. 130 is smoking fast.
