21ft and 135mph....
 

Not my boat, but these guys have built a few of these now, one with a 1075 Merc was running around 120mph, but this is a whole different level

Force F1 "Armed Force" Leaving for the USA this Force is powered with the same record breaking engine as Sudden Force. The PFM (Priest Family Marine) Engine is a 1700 Turbo Charged Intercooled, 555 cubic inch Chev Block. After testing ....the recorded speed of the day, at only 60% throttle, was a whopping
135 mph....Now that's got to make your eyes water!

gota love the ski pylon .....:ernaehrung004:

Damnnnnnn


dd's revenge ?? :eek::eek:

Kinda cool seeing a #6 on that thing.

The tabs are cool to...

If that thing pulled up along side you and wanted to run, you'd probably laugh and hit the sticks.
Wake up call.
But that's part of the difference between an alpha and a #6.

I would imagine it to have quite a ''pucker factor'' as well.....

Wow, not even a Sting Ray?

I must be getting old, I can just picture getting out shape at over a 100 in a 21 foot boat. I think I would like the sound. Doug

Thats what a certain guy we know needs. Not mentioning name................................... :)

Must have a large WOW factor when you punch it!

:cool-smiley-027:

:cool: Wonder what a #6 wouold look like on the Scarab...

Yea..........it's called Time Travel! :evilb:

Too Infinity, and beyond!!!

Stupid:rolleyes:
But cool :cool:

the are actually "quite" stable, I personally have been 110mph in one Did I forget to mention that there is usally two skiers hanging on at that speed with a 200ft length of rope, while racing down a river that has 170 bends in 80 miles.... Does that get your pulse racing yet??

Here is the earlier version, without the built in rear sponson's this one is running a 1075SCI merc and #6 Drive, still good for 120mph...

God almighty!! Any video of that thing running?:eek:

Thats one hell of a skiboat. i have hit the water @ 65 and felt like a train wreck i couldn't ever think of 120+:angry-smiley-038: any video of these in action?

What's a 1075 Merc run ($) these days? This is pretty incredible, but that's some major dime to be putting in back of a boat like that. I mean - that's some SERIOUS "sh*its and giggles" on the lake...but was it a one-off project...built from bits 'n pieces...or what was the owner's original intention? Would be interested to know what they were aiming at. Love the "AUS 1" on the side, though. I'm sure...:D

merc prob built it for some skiboat speed records,thats got to be 100k of eng and drive

i likey!

These boats are built for ski racing. Over 100 mph skiing is very common. This sports is making a comeback. These are not one off's these are standards.

These guys are full blown race boats, definitely not a through together, the top of the line boats would be running close to 200k build cost, i.e no joke.

Here is a video of one running a 4.5L Twin turbo Nissan V8

here is another with the skiers, you get to see how windy it actually is, this boat would be running around 100mph maybe a little over on the straights

Used to speed ski when I lived in Oregon. Crashed at just over 100 once. Knocked me out cold. Am still sure I hold the record for stone skipping. :D:D

that would be "Stone's" skipping ......:cool:

A quote from the movie space balls comes immediately to mind.

"Ludicrous Speed!"

he should do some street racing...i mean lake racing with TD....

Thanks for sharing, nice looking hard ware !!


Jon

Now THAT is a serious ski boat :cool:

And for those of you who haven't skied in a while....My kids talked me into it this weekend. After 8 minutes of torture, I hit the water at about 25 MPH.....Not good....Not good at all!!

Crazy stuff!!:cool:

Amazing boat!

Just what do you tell your insurance guy on something like this?

Back in the late 70's, early 80's, there was a company call Performance First Marine which built turbocharged marine engines, and used the same initials PFM.

Michael

The hull reminds me of the old 21 chris craft

Curious on the tab design? Advantages?

this is a link to one of the video that was in the column to the right of the ski video. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68AOl...eature=related what a way to waste a boat)

damn that drive looks sick on such a small boat!! my dream is to have a similiar set up on a 25-28 ft boat with an all aluminum bbc at the 800 ci range with a 6 drive. fresh water cooling off course and i like howard custom boats for the hull...anyhoo :cool:

ttt, Still curious on the tab design. Anyone?
