we only got 188 out of it when i had it.

only 188?! :D . . . . i think JT may bring a few extra mph with him in that thing. :cool:

and feel safe or safer anyways. JOHNNY IS THE KING.

good #'s , does it have anymore in it?:drink:

It's been faster than 196.....by about 17.:drink:

not

When was that? That would be the record.

:eek::eek::eek: :rolleyes: by 17??? I gotta double the NOT!!

Always liked that Skater.. Like a sprint car fast!!!

Good old 46 Skater,, did the MTI or Mistic ever see those kind of speeds??

Here he is running 202. Is it the same boat?

The Run Was in Marathon in 2003 just found the photos

I think that the Callan Mystic saw 215 in testing for LOTO, one year, don't remember which year it was...
Dean

awesome

not exactly

Yes, it's the same boat.

Chris

..?

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

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:

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......

that is a wild video ... love the sound and rooster tail.

The kilo was at Reggie's place in Washington, NC. The water was good but there was a crosswind preceeding the slight turn to the right just prior to entering the kilo itself. Accordingly, JT had to hold the boat speed down slightly and very steady for me to navigate the turn at those speeds - then he was able to lay on the throttles for top speed through the kilo which laid just ahead.

Just looked at the video - this particular run was not at Reggie's factory - it was in Savannah, Georgia. The only video of the run in Washington, NC that I am aware of is on my webpage under the Multimedia section. A direct link to it would be:

The last pass on the vid sure was smooth:drink:
