Interesting engine choices!
Twin 5.7 350hp; are they getting WOT 78mph w/ that setup?

I like how it's kinda bare boned.... would be beast w/ the new Ilmor v8s!

Did i just say beast???

Beast??? You sound like my college buddy talking about his Subaru! :D

If Larry Smith is involved it will be a great product. Im thinking 650hp Small BLocks :D

They have been looking at the 32 Activator for sure ......

But Speedster looks very sharp! :)

Speedster in Miami
 
It's a great boat - having ridden in it in both the Atlantic and the Pacific now... I can tell you it lays down extremely flat and planes instantly.

Dan is a great guy and did wonders re-rigging an old Hustler of mine with Kamas... If only we could have staggered the motors as I think it makes a huge difference.

I'm really looking forward to being out when we can run her all the way and finish the prop testing.

Danny Mac is a great guy have done alot of work with him and for him over the years.....The boat is derived from a Cougar but has been extensively modified and only bears some similar lines other than that it is a totally different animal.....

Dan MacNamara is a very knowledgeable person, and knows how to set a boat up. He did the original rigging on our boat, and did an impeccable job irregardless of the fact that he had that Sean guy there at the time! :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

I saw them fueling in Miami, if Larry Smith is involved its gonna be good!

HOW can this be derived from a Cougar, but be something else? And WHY wouldn't Larry Smith design something new? Can't this guy reengineer and design something new?
