Fastest single engine boat? Lets hear it!
 

Okay, I love my 25 Outlaw, the way it rides, room it has and am glad for once in 5yrs that it has ran without any issues all summer so far(Thanks Ben).......:drink: I would just expect 700HP to push it faster than it does? A crap load of horsepower and only in the 80's.......:crazy: ......lol. I want some feedback from everyone and their experiences on what is the fastest single engine (preferably V-Hull) boat WITHOUT sacrificing the ride. Just thought it would be an interesting thread to start and love to here what everyone has to say..............

My Velocity VR1 ran right at 80 with 550 horse..and Potter is building me a 700-725 horse engine right now..I will be starting a thread and posting results once it is back together.

28' Mannerfelt Batboat, 725 Ilmor/Indy drive, 103 mph with more to come.... (NO BLOWER.)

27 step bottom activator - under 800 hp and runs 106 gps with a non-labbed stock 4 blade prop - oh it's pretty good in rough water too! :drink:

22 classic 665 griffin blowermotor 107mph, still have not held it down yet. Not bar stool 107. mailman

Tuff 28 runs 95.5 mph with a single 525

West coast boat has record Howard I think?

The Baja Outlaw hull is not the most efficent hull. There are many boat manufactures that will run much faster with equal power. I am by no means knocking the Baja Outlaw, as personally I LOVE the classic shape the Outlaw has. But for speed not really the Hull of choice.

A friend of a friend has a 1999 Velocity 26' and he runs mid 90s with similar power.

144 Mph
 

In 2002, Bob Teague drove an Eliminator 25 Daytona in Parker, AZ, with a 1300+HP Quad/Whipple motor to
a remarkable 144mph...

Bob also drove an Eliminator 26 Daytona several years back to 141.9mph, when a distributer gear failured, causing the boat to slow.....

Not sure if anyone else has gone faster in a 25/26 foot cat...

Myself, I've driven my 25 Daytona up to about 103mph, and got nervous, its a small boat... LOL...:drink:

Yes, and it is gorgeous to boot. I talked to him about putting my 600sci in one a couple years ago, he calculated somewhere over 100 on gps.

Howards V hull ran 110mph, according to powerboat magazine, single engine, not sure how many HP

The Baja hull is non stepped, and heavy compared to others, but, I still think its one of the best "bang for the buck" out there.

Laveycraft 28 EVO... Ilmor 710... 103mph.

AAHHHH com on.... this is too easy.

KEN WARBY's little hot hod. 317 mph !




Darrell.

Laster's 24LD Progression with a very simple Whipple charged 502 runs 95 MPH. I think that shows the difference between that hull and a Baja. Both are non-stepped v-bottoms. One is much more efficient.

doing a 25 Daytona right now with an 1100 hp whippled 540.
Don't know yet how fast but its gonna hall the mail for sure. :)

Your dad's boat has what power / drive set up?

The Velocity is a great hull, what is your projected speed with the new power?

Great feedback!!:ernaehrung004: Keep em coming, really enjoying the feedback and reading up on boats I didn't even knew existed.........:drink:

There was a Howard Vee that ran 130+ MPH with a quad rotor whipple set up TPI1100, which is incredible for a vee hull.

It was Gary Taylors boat. He ended up getting in some serious trouble and is now in jail.

Awesome!!:eek: Keep us posted on your project and look forward in hearing your results...:ernaehrung004:

:lolhit:Haul the mail??? Definitely a Canadian term EH? LOL

George Desmond had an 18' Donzi Classic with a blown small block and Arneson drive that ran 110+. I don't remember the exact numbers but it was a sick ride, may have been closer to 120.....

Pictures please........:D

25 ICC daytona 625 Ilmor. 92-96 depending on heat.

The Hustler 29 Rockit does high 70's with a Mercury 525 with a fully equiped boat.

Ran over 125mph :drink:

Kryptonites run pretty well for a single. 700hp will put you in the mid/high 90's.

That had to be one of if not the scariest pleasure boats ever built.

30 phantom sportster. Mine ran right at 80 with a stock hp500 carb that was tired. I think Wills new 30 runs low 90s with about 600hp.

As far as fastest single engine Sea Ray's go, bring it.:party-smiley-004: :lolhit:

Back in 02 Eliminator put about 1500 hp in a 25 Daytona, Bob Teague ran it up to 144mph

Are you including these, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M2SC...eature=related

I had a 29 Progression with 900hp that ran 112. The Avatar Pic is the Power Plant.
27 Progression with 500HP carb that ran 84.. Love single engine V Bottoms!!!!

Now I am playing with a Sweet 16 Donzi. With a small block she runs 60.

Called "Mighty Mouse"

hey scalded dog, I have a basic membership, so I can't post photos, but if you go to rage powerboats website you'll see a few photos of the all yellow 27 which is now my boat.

Top This !
 

Howard Bullet :boat: 130mph

http://v15.lscache7.googlevideo.com/...268948&key=ck1

Eliminator 22 daytona-135mph

All respect, but we're is the vid or document proof?

That's a pretty unbeatable speed to be honest. Did it have a cabin, stereo system, dual batteries? Anyway, not sure Kryptonite is the fastest but I love it. Ran 92 yesterday with 650hp full stereo, cabin, duel batteries.

down south we use the expression "carry the mail" and "in the wind" :drink:

and ive also heard tale of a fella that had a stingray that would run over 100 :evilb: cant seem to find any of those old threads tho:party-smiley-004:

Teague
 

So all kidding aside,,,,

Is the 144MPH 25 Elim Daytona the fastest single engine speed on record?....

Anyone? know of a faster single..
