Rod Karnofel's ex APBA Super Cat 36' Skater (former Fountain/Mercury raceboat) w/ 763ci naturally aspirated/single carb/pump gas motors and #6 Mercs against my 588ci naturally aspirated/single carb/pump gas motors (Sterlings) and ASD #7s. Obviously the outcome would be much different if we were in rough water! And by today's standards with huge hp blower/turbo motors, these boats are slow.........but they're still fun.

Yes, actually it was Jim. I was pacing Rod at his top speed of just over 140 as we came into view, then accelerated as we passed the crowd of people. The last I looked down, my GPS was just a click over 150 @ 6,000 rpm. My boat will spin these props to a best of 6,300 rpm, so you do the math as to how fast my boat is. BTW, you've never said how fast your 30' is with those LS7s in it???
