Whatever happened to BJ Maher's last Activator? That boat ran awfully good. That son b*tch could run, was too much for the Phantom when the Phantom had 502's now the Phantom has the 540's and I would guess the Activator is still probably way faster.
And C-Spray/Chuck's Mannerfelt .....been reading about boat with the repower, another single engine hot-rod.
That single engine Activator s the type of hot-rod that I like seeing on the water.
Line em-up Stallion ......gotta run em, may not win, but ya gotta try.

Also Chris's Joker with the big blower motor in it, he will outrun me pretty handily.
My buddy Steve has a 27' Fountain with a single in it that will run in the mid 80's easily. It is hard to miss as the whole boat is a maroon color.
I have not yet run up against Chuck's batboat, but based on the videos I have seen I wont be any competition for him.
Oh and Dave (Blue Thunder)....

BJ still has it, has a 632ci in it right now I believe. There is another Activator on the bay that runs pretty well also.

Can you post a picture of your hot-rod?

Spent some summer days as a teenager on the Washington Ave beach watching Mr. Kerbeck (he had a red Excalibur Executioner in those days, 1983 or so) and those guys run up and down the ocean arcing on Sunday afternoons. That beach was always packed with talent (hot girls on the beach).
Margate memories (not Memories Lounge in Margate, for those who know), I liked Maynards back then.

Running a 598ci N/A carbed engine. Not dynoed after the rebuild but somewhere in the low 700hp range based on speeds.
As far as top speed, let's just say I am not running triple digits but for a single engine vee it gets back pretty good. Well enough to spank Blue Thunder with 4 people on board. That video can be found in the video section.
Oh, and ItalianStallion, if you see me out cruising around, dont be scared to pull up alongside and give it a go (it will be a fruitless effort for you but still fun).

With the present engine setup it runs pretty well. I lost about 5mph when i switched to a hydraulic cam two seasons ago, but the overall reliability and dock manners of the boat increased dramatically.
