That thing is beautiful. The wife saw it & immediately screamed she wanted one!!! I would have thought you would have needed a tilt trailer to get that thing down the road?

Thing is awsome

Absolutely an amazing piece of machinery!!!::flag:

hammer01 11-04-2009 01:02 PM

Wow, absolutely gorgeous!!!! I always truly admire all the creativity that goes into these machines to separate them from the other field of machines just like them. Did anyone ever hear if the performance was where he was wanting it to be. With the 1550's, I would guess it to be in the 160's especially if Jimmy L's similar hull with 1300ish Hp put him in the 150's. Regardless, great looking ride and it should be quite the show at the docks this year. Thumbs up again and have fun and be safe!!!! Hammer

awesome 11-04-2009 01:58 PM

We couldn't be happier with the boats performace. Fastest currently is 140 @6000 with the motors turned down to 1200's. The best parts is how that thing runs through big water!!!!! Were going to wait a little while to turn them up to 1550's and get used to the boat.

How much HP is In flight club with those big PSI blowers? Got a pic of the speedometer @ 165 or 155(I can't remember exactly) from the Cumberland run

Not trying to be an azz here, just curious, but is that a theoretical top speed or achieved top speed? 160s though is still movin in a boat that size regardless of power.

Saw her driving through Jacksonville tonight about 5:00 on I95.

Is your 36 the old Bacardi boat?

I would think it would be a little faster than 182, does she have anything left in her??

yes it is. The 50 has more in it if you want to take the 6800 chips out.

theshop1 11-05-2009 02:25 PM

take the chips out and lets do it! there is 3 seats across the front, just enough for you, chip, and me!

Gary864 11-05-2009 02:54 PM

Flight Club that is very Impressive speeds. and I thought a 100mph Phantom was fast. Stay safe and enjoy your Boat(s)

Jim Darr, at it again. You are insane! Boatfreaks finally banned you, so you invent another screen name, and register here and at SOS. Now, SOS immediately kicked you off, and here you are.

You need to get help man.
