blue whats your top speed that you do all the time ???:drink:

Sounds very good. That boat must really accelerate well with the 30's.

When the boat is setup right its 90mph unless it is dead flat and way hot. It takes about a 2' chop and cool air to get the best tops speeds. No steps you know. Last year I was slower than usual with about 87 any time. That should be fixed for next season. Going back to my bobs nose cones and side water pickeup lowers. Plus engines are both all forged now so I may spin to a higher rpm. I'm also kicking around finding a couple sets of 1.65 gears and trying them out. My buddy (jetmech) with a scarab viper has big hp improvement plans for this winter so I need to up my game :drink:

double post....

I spent the evening installing new vertical and propshafts in the lowers..... twisted they were. Hope we see you next year at lloyds or something smarty. Love to meet ya and maybe have a go at that phantom :cool-smiley-011:

I used to go to Maynard's with a fake id when I was 15, lol. My grand parents were the original owners of Maloney's before the Naame's purchased it. Same here, grew up watching Scarabs and Cigarettes off the shore and that's what drew me to performance boats. Same time frame too, in the 80's.

That old resin bucket is a rocketship from a 50mph roll on! The first time we ran he suprised the crap out of me when he stood on it.

He pulls two boat lengths quickly, and usually the race is over before I can reach top speed and reel him in. Of course I am afraid of lunching my drive every time i stand on it. Plus mine being a single takes a lot longer to wind out, especially with the 32" Bravo on it. Spin that one 5800rpm...

In my defense I have also not raced Dave without having at least 4 adults on board. The extra weight makes a big difference on a light boat like this.

With 4 people on board and most of a tank of fuel i can run 92mph just about any day of the week. Empty and with just two on board....use your imagination....:coolcowboy:

In our first race I had 5 ppl on board, you were light with just you and your gf. The 2 of you soaking wet don't even equal one me so really you only had one person on board :kiss: Make no mistake about it though, philm can run that beotch. Amazed me last year in some fairly good snot that he did not give way at all.

was on the barnegat bay most of summer & didnt run into any single engine boats that were ready to have some fun.. will be keeping a eye out for that fountain this year...looking forward to it

Wondered if you would show up on this thread? I already mentioned your boat might be good run for him.

See you on the water in the spring. :drink:
