Right on the money.

1) this boat, former race boat 2) Big speed, Sterling power, new 6 seat interior, 3) a closed canopy over seas.

Speed Racers:
This one, affectionately known as "Little Speed"

And "Big Speed", 6 seater (now) open cockpit owned by Bob Christie; running "big" power.

I've been on Little Speed, and that boat is a blast to run. Randy took me along on a back from Hawks Cay some time back, and that boat rocks. It's compeltely tricked out inside.

Another overseas.

Just curious.

Two originals that I know of, Little Speed (40 Canopy w/525's) that Randy "Wild" owns and Big Speed the open canopy MTI with big power.

You can ask Randy "Marine Concepts" about both of them he had them built.

I also think there is also another clone over in Europe that they just added the Speed Racer stickers to if my memory is correct.

Actually there were three, the third was an open cocpit looks alot like Big Speedy but only had 600 or 625's? Its over seas, there has been pics on here before of it.

125 mph = 201 kph

jeff32 03-19-2012 06:37 PM

no way this thing runs 125 with stock 525... if it really runs that, why run 800 or 900's high dollars engine to run 140 mph ... ???

makes no sense to me, but I never had a tunnel...maybe you guys did!!!

but if it is !!! these are great performance numbers! cent vingt cinq mile a l'heure ! Jeff P31 ! penses - y !!!

Wild 03-19-2012 06:37 PM

i have only been up to 124 but it has more with the right props, we run most poker run in the 110 range. when they raced it Reggie JR saw 140. its a fun boat, i know i will kick myself for selling it :)
