Speedster Powerboats?
 

I just ran across a photo and checked their website. Pretty damn sharp looking boat.

Pretty nice looking' boat

Runs leveled and I particularly like the fact that the hull and deck is seamless

would be nice to see more pics of it at the show.

Talked to Dan from Archer marine a couple weeks ago and he said it was going to be at the Miami show. Boat looks good.

I think Archer Marine cut that Cougar Thunderboat open quite a while ago. Were they finally allowed to sell it?

Any pictures of this boat at the boat show?

Nice looking boat. Any details?

Staggered 32 foot boat, cool!

Is this a new design, or is it pulled from the activator or adrenaline?

This is new and Larry Smith is involved. Super nice boat.......

Pretty sure this is derived from their 32 Cougar race boat they had.

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

More info here.............

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

What ever, I have one :D

But Speedster looks very sharp! :)

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?

I had a lot of fun doing your boat with Dan back then bud!!!!!

Correct. I talked to him a lot about this boat. Started as the 32 cougar and according to Dan the boat wasn't quite right. They converted it tp the twin stagg Bravo boat and have been reworking the bottom extensively. I think the one shown is the orig. boat, but has complete new molds. He said the boat turned out really well so much so that Cougar want to buy it back. He said sure...after we spent the $ and made it right. Best secret out there IMO.

The Thunderboats ran very well over here in ProVee with TriMax and SSM.
Speedster's website says 'Championship Winning Hull Design'. Which championship has that 'extensivly reworked' bottom won then?

Then again who cares. It's gorgeous, good luck for them.

I hear ya. I do like it with the staggered bravos!

How Much Coin

dan does a great job he did the repower on my boat last year and it has been turnkey and done when promised mad props to dan

cool boat but it would look better with a wrap around windshield!

Cheaper than you would think!!!!

Well guys I think I've found my new favorite! This thing looks killer! What do ya'll think? Anyone taken delivery of this thing yet?

No but you can be the first on your water way. Base price is 149,000.00 with small blocks 200,000.00 with 525s just got back from Loto set top mark in class at 101MPH not bad at 94 degrees and 90 % humitiy. to dam hot.

Werent you the only one in your class?:party-smiley-004:

Not that I know of I heard there was 3 or 4 boats. But if you can do better I will see you there next year .

Congrats on the win at the Shoot out. It's cool to see somone building a 32' staggered boat again. Looks great!

What power were you running to achive the speed? 101 is a nice number

smack

The speedster had twin 525's if I remember right. Dan did a great job on the boat, it is the best looking 32' out there!

They are clone 525 we built at the shop. 502 s with cast iron heads and no fresch water cooling and stellings 15 in shorty headers

Dan, do you have any stats on your 2013 Kaama? I saw some pics of it facebook and I'm just curious as to what exactly it is.

Its based on the 43 Larry Smith Scarab 48 long 6.7 liter cummins diesel that put out 550hp and 1250 ft lbs torque we run it thru the trimax surface drives with dual rudders the boat weights in at about 13,000 lbs and run 82 MPH. With full cabin. Not bad for stock diesels.

101 with 525 is impressive. Nice job and great looking boat.

In looking at the shootout information it looks like the boat was the only one in its class. Not saying its not a nice boat, just saying it won its class by being the only one in it.
