I believe 203MPH was the record Bacardi Or Bud boat???:rolleyes:Not shure if Gieco turbine beat that #???

yes but was that record set with 6s and no rudder? would this make a diff?

Byrds 46 went 190.The bacardi boat 36 Skater holds the piston record at 202.I have heard claims that it went 213.Maybe someone will chime in.

I wonder if the piston guys use PSI,s to get the hp to push these sleds to these speeds.

hope you knock it. be safe good luck my $$ is on crazy byrd and the rest of the crew who actually know how to dial and tune...

Callan ran 208 at loto shotout in 2006

209 in 2007.

when i bought the boat from dave, the gps fastest speed said 213, you will have to talk to dave on that one.

who owns the bacardi boat?

Who was in it when it ran those #'s

Ron, what most people don't realize about JT and my official kilo speed of 202.907 mph is that is the speed we averaged for one kilometer - not the top speed obtained by the boat during the run. Others, including Dave Callan & John Cosker, have attempted to beat this average speed but none have to date. As Cosker will tell you about their kilo attempt in Sarasota, varying wind and water conditions can have a dramatic effect on any boat while trying to maintain speeds above 200. :ernaehrung004:
