I was there on a 47 Fountain with 1200's....we were one of the first boats to leave after lunch...... we were running 110 in some fairly choppy water and both the OL and The Statement passed us like we were sitting still....I believe the Statement was running turbine engines....it was pretty cool that morning but had warmed up considerably by lunch

I knew Adam would be by shortly after you mentioned "rolled"! 
That Statement moves out!!!
Actually, as I recall there was a video of these two cats running that day, I think it was shot from the Statement (although I could be wrong). I dont know if the OL was running wide open, but the Statement was slowly walking away.

ah,thought is was the oil pressure alarm went off,sucked the silos dry and had to slow down to let the oil drain from the top end.sound about right.7000rpm for 2mins was all it could take.know the fix was to add 2 scavange lines to the back of the head.
and i guess you can say the engines were on conservative mood,since redline was 7800rpm and 1800hp,but you were only given 7000-7200rpm limit.and it was put there a couple of times.

Again, I was in the boat for the entire run so I know what happen. Oil psi started to drop, backed off to 6500rpm then smelled fuel. Turned out somebody forgot to tightent the little 1/4" SHCS that secures the fuel rail to the manifold, and that is why we stopped, took 15 minutes to fix while everyone passed, and then ran by ourselves to the lunch stop.
We ran and kept up with the statement for a damn good distance which is pretty good considering they've got nearly 2250+hp turbines.

I think I need to quit my blue collar job, act like sunkin, and try to weasel my way to the upper echelons of the offshore world so I can score rides in some badass boats like all you guys.
Anyone need a deck/boat hand for their highend offshore boat/company and wanna start me at north of 80k? LOL

I have no dog in this fight but this is how I see it. Back in the day Fountain and OL were talking trash. When it came time to prove it one boat set a speed record while the other boat didn't even come off the trailer. This might bother some people.
Just sayin.
