TOASTY

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.

KNOT-RIGHT

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

TOASTY

Callan ran 208 at loto shotout in 2006

flight club

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

KiloKat

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.

I think it's time for an official Kilo run. We'll have to work on that one.

Dave, where was that 202 video taken? Nice calm water, with a slight turn, just to make it interesting.

Dave you have an increditable team and have done some real nice numbers.....Hope to see you guys this year racing......
