Color Us Gone
 

at 113 MPH

Hustler 444 with a pair of Torque 1200s

Awesome wallpaper for the computer!!!!:D :D

WOW - SWEET

This is waaaay cool. I'm gonna use it as wallpaper too. Sorry DJD, the wildchild is coming down.

talk about a rooster tail....:D now that is an awesome sight..:D

I believe " Color Me Gone" was a Dodge Coronet funny car with a hemi engine driven by Roger Lindeman ???

Forget the wallpaper I want the Boat.:D

Awesome Boat! Nice to see those powerplants in action!

:cool: Ssswwweeeeeettt!!!

Cool!

Has anyone been able to keep a set of transmissions and drives together for any length of time with those motors? I remember hearing early on that these powerplants were chewing up gearboxes like chicklets...

That's exactly what the torque guys were saying when I spoke to them in Miami...Thousands of hours on their test motors with no problems, but it is difficult to channel all that power to the water successfully. Definate gear masher!

Awesome Boat!!!
You guys haven't left yet, Arizona is a long way. We are looking forward to see that at the HeatWave poker run. Have a good trip.

Awsome!!!!

Those motors look wild!

Too Old, I remember the Color Me Gone car. It was one of my favorites.

Wallpaper here as well :)

I hope the cameraman was strapped in :eek:

NO words can describe I just closed my eyes an imagined the whine/scream and sensation of blasting across the water



Whew I need a cigarette:p

that is sweet I love v-12s!!!!!

My first car had a v-12 but not like those!!!!!



otcbb4me I take it thats your boat. Sweet ride!

That is going to be at Havasu? I am looking forward to it if it is :D:D

Jon

BAD A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

That top pic; is just PRICELESS>>>!!!!!!!!!!!
:cool: :cool: :cool:

"gearmashing chicklets"
 

......and the question is

"What happens to transmissions when 1150HP actually means 1150HP ?"


Any ideas on who can get this monster's power to the water?

Torque 1500sc

i heard the trannies are actually holding together. Marc from BAM in FL said there is a hustler up around NY with torqV12 and they have held togther for like 50 hours so far. I might be another hustler with v12s but i doubt it. The low end torque from those NA 12s must be immense.

I WAS WATCHING THE ROOSTER TAIL FOR TRIM PARITY WHILE TESTING AND SAID TO MYSELF WOW THIS IS AN AWSOME SITE AND SNAPPED A QUICK PIC. THE 444 HUNTRESS (COLOR US GONE) RIDES LIKE A FRIEGHT TRAIN ON RAILS. THE TORQUE V 12'S LIVE UP TO THERE NAME IN EVERY WAY. THESE MOTORS CAN PULL A BUILDING DOWN. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO DROP US AN E MAIL.

Now that bad boy is saying something...and no one is talking back.

Just awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much power it blew the engine hatch right off!

Chip - Welcome to OSO! Things must have finally calmed down enough there at the factory to give you time to log on, huh?

Remember - since I let you drive my B-28 at Baltimore in 1999, you now have to let me drive your 444. (By the way, my boat still carries Mike's "Batman" sticker at the base of the windshield.)

You NEED to post a sound clip of those 1200's at full song.

Chuck

audio clips are a must!!!!!

I saw the boat run this weekend out at Havasu. What a nice rig. The owner was reall nice as well. He said so far 113mph was his tops. It seemed like it was taking some time to get on plane but who knows what was up, he could have been taking his time. :D:D

I saw the Hustler in Havasu also this weekend. It was a sweet boat, and the tow vehicle (Peterbuilt) was equally as impressive. The owners were really nice also. The wife couldn't back the truck down the ramp.....so Lu Lyall (S.C.O.P.E. President) jumped in to save the day, way to go Lu!

What an awesome looking boat, nice lines for a 44 plus boat, not bloated looking, and those motors look intimidating, cool. A great combination, Hustler and Torque:D

I hope this works
 

This boat is now OH MAMA on Lake Powell

whoops
 

that file was too big to load anywhere, Ill find someway to get it loaded someplace.

Yep, far as I know it has a pair of our Cyborg 1500 trans in it. I usually only hear the bad news directly so this is a good thing.

Boat Girl,

Isn't this boat now for sale at Lake Cumberland Marine.

Hustler
 

I seen it over the 4th at Lake Cumberland Marine with matching tow vehicle . Wife wouldn't let me near it.
