With the video man on board the boat, giving TD the chance to prove he wasn't full of it, the boat ran 82mph best they could do, hit a wave or wake and did a 180 degree spin tossing both TD and video man in the floor. Sooo, TD has actually gone 82mph that can be proven by witness, not the 100mph he tries to claim.

Lastly, the witnesses on shore when TD was running solo said it appeared he was running in the 60's. I saw the video and it was no where near 90mph."


Now they are laughing that he's back on this site. And maybe the boat is faster now. Frankly, it would be cool to see him do it.
But the time for BS is over. In the end it will stand for either Bull S**t...or Balls of Steel.

Now there's an idea for a shirt.
So there we go all the expsert have spoken they know all. So my new mark is 85 that would be 2 mph faster then Air Time 3 mph faster then the claimed 82 mph when I did a complete 360 and not a 180

Otherwise Scream and Fly and Performance Boats have multiple sub-22' boats that are definitely over 100.
But not 3500lbs I/Os with Alpha 1s with pump gas small blocks

Airtime didn't set your mark. You set your mark.

Either break the century mark, or don't, there is no try......

TD, video like the one I posted would put an end to all of this. I know why you don't want to, but..............
Now, that's what I'm talking about.

Noooooooo all the experts have spoken they carefully study the tapes and there years of expseriance and there engineering back ground they say my boat cant even go 80 mph. So the new mark is 85 it will be realy tough for me and might even get hurt doing it because all the experts tell me how out of control my boat is and how unsafe it is. But Im willing to take that chance and see if I cant come up with a 85 mph pass for you people. Hope my insurnace is paid up

Do we need a Stingray forum for the huge Stingray contingent on OFFSHOREONLY?

Come on Trippy, you've come this far, don't pull the chute now.

Anything short of 100.01 will be a failure, you know it, I know it, and every boating board will soon know it.

For over a year now you have been claiming you can run "tripple" digits on pump gas.
You usually flamed out long before anybody could get something set up, and you disappeared back into your shop. The difference this time is you didn't know when to cut loose. You caught the interest of some big fish this time, and they are circling.
You posted it, you got called on it, now prove it....

100.01 MPH
