Out of Control testing in Long Beach Harbor
 

We were out testing today with Out of Control, 40 ss Skater Dutweiller 1800 plus hp engines and Weismann Marine 4-speed semiautomatic transmissions, shaft drives with a center rudder.

Rique Ford on the sticks and Thad (Jr) Finley on the wheel. platinum lent the props, Vern from West Coast drive service was helping.

Gary Smith came up from Newport with Alien to help with the testing and adjusting my pucker factor by making me freefall in his boat at speed during the test while I was trying to video...... Thanks Gary.

Working on getting her dialed in for the LOTO shoot out.

Wow. Nice. Numbers? Video?

Garys baby alien

Shaft drives... Cute.. Last I checked they were Arnesons:lolhit:

This was a test to get Rique and Thad up to speed with the boat. This is a 3 year project and it is very complex. We got the water pressure under control today and several other gremlins....

The set was perfect.

Als goal is to be the worlds fastest pleasure boat.

This not the place to stretch her out. Big wakes tons of traffic. We wanted to get some time on the boat and try to determine the correct props for acceleration.

Thanks Gary for taking the time to come up and helping Als effort.

HA! Nice hang time at the end of the video!!:eek::drink:

Sweet project...Good luck with it.

Hang time...... That is decsribed in the webster dictionary for the time it took for the suction cup to grow out of my butt and grab the seat......I like the horizon going away.

Normally we zip out there and wait for the flyby but nooo Gary wanted to run.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paoPYqU2e8Q

Twins - nice work on the build.

It will be great to see this thing finally come together for Al as it's been a long time and lots of work thus far. Great looking boat, and having Gary there to help out just doesn't get any better. Good people right there. Keep us posted guys!!! :D

What ever happened with this project? I see the boat is up for sale now. I was really hoping to see some great numbers from it, but it just fell off the radar.

Just watched a vid of this boat running on Arneson surface drives Facebook page. What a beast of a machine. Twin Turbo Dutweiler power. Weismann transmissions. Arneson surface drives.The sound of this boat is incredible. I mean absolutely a gorgeous skater. Where is this boat now? Did they ever get it dialed in? Any top speed numbers? Thanks.
