My shootout/kilo engines are kept in-house and built/maintained by a very close friend & crew member that has his own engine business.

Your boat was awesome to hear and see come by us awesome run!

Thanks! Can't start to describe how hard that thing was pulling on the big-end !!

any vid links on any of these runs? i'd like to see vids of all the runs!:party-smiley-004:

Congrats Dave!!!!! Must of been a rush!!!!!

Callan and cosker did not have a faster start speed, they started at 30 mph

They held the record at 208.

Nice Job !!

It was 209

Not a big deal but John Cosker told both JT & myself they started around 60.

Whatever the start speed, they did an amazing job!

You also did an amazing job

I was going by the 2006 history here:

http://www.lakeoftheozarksshootout.org/history.html

209 mph speed is listed under the 2007 history.

Got it!

Congrats Dave.....another great run.....

What numbers did the Skater with Smith/Tyson turbo engines run?



Thanks
Jon :drink:

The boat did not run in the Shootout. The owner got the boat from Skater on Tuesday before the shootout and they took it directly to LOTO. Needless to say they did not have time to dial the boat in for full speed passes. We will have to wait until next year.

To much work and not enough time!! They worked their butts off but didn't get it dial in. Great looking boat and its fast!!!

What is the outboard cat record?

Were you in that stunning light blue Skater w/ US1 on the front side @ LOTO ????

Cool,.........thanks to both of you.

Any good photo's of the finished product?


Jon

Great run but what class did he run in?? He runs a 39 MTI supercharged and remove the drive guards and more like 36. The way I see it that's the same class as Romers 38. 36-42 ft CAT and supercharged im I missing something.

Good question at Loto I believe Skater Jim has been above 120 in his 28. I believe he has the record but not positive

Congratulations Dave! Always proud to have you representing the LOTO like no other.

He ran in one of the Manufacturers class by himself. Still a great run.

Yes I think you are right, it is a 28 Skater that holds the record.

I have no idea, runs 93 mph at 4000 rpms, 101 mph at 4600 rpms. Joe (Hustler Power Boats) and Eddie (Young Performance) run it 112 mph in 2005. They drive alot better than i do. The motors have almost 300 hours, Eddie builds a dependable motor. These motors would be awesome in the 39 Rocket.

Well what are you waiting for?????:lolhit:

Thanks Eddie,, was hoping to see you there.Jeremie has a new little boy which came alittle early.

You sounding like Joe, peer pressure!

Anyone know how fast Double Take went 46 Skater? And is there a full list of offical results somewhere?

I dont know where you got that information,but that never happened-ever.:lolhit:

rusty has quad rotor whipple sterlings @ 1550hp

Comment:

I know what happened you won the Top Cat Manufacturers Class with a 165MPH run.

Great job and people who have never run the Shootout do not know the amount of preparation and effort that goes into this event. It is enormous to say the least even more so coming from Tucson!

We will see you next year glad you liked the course lay out this year it seems like it would be faster and safer.

Thats good #'s Eric.Dependability means alot so you can enjoy it.How ya like the looks of the 39? I'm still on the fence:drink:

I llike it alot, went to joe's and drove the first boat he built about two years ago. It went 114 mph with 700's, handles very well and easy to drive. Went for another ride at the miami boat show about a year later in very rough water and I couldn't believe how it done. It was awesome, we run 100 plus thru the cut that all the cruisers were in hittin 3 and 4 footers side to side and it never got out of shape or scared any of us (6 on board). That will be my next boat, plus me and joe have become very good friends over the last ten years. On every boat (four 388's) he has made it alot of fun, he is a good guy. This boat is a 2005 and I love it, no trouble out of anything. It just feels a little spooky over 100 mph.

Can someone explain the diff. between Non-Professional and Manufacturer?

How are Chip Romers 388 and Gary Smiths 40 in these diff categories? They're both open cockpit pleasure boats, Skater Catamarans, custom blower motors, both between 36-42 feet?????????? Am I taking crazy pills?

were there any oil spills at loto

The same Chit that screws up racing!! No body loses and lets make a class for every boat.. Total BS.
If they want to make a true class separated by true boat length, dont count swim platforms and over size beaks on the v bottom. 36 skaters and 39 MTIs shouldn't be in the same class with 40Skaters and 44 MTIs.
It has grown and still is a great event but only One TOP GUN and thats David @ 208. Just Saying

I was wondering the exact same thing dk.
