Just out of curiosity are these top end numbers of the 525 boats with crash boxes and if so what would switching to a shiftable trans do to top end?

I'm sure all of the race boats have crash boxes, I know Bobs has them for sure

legal cat-lite w/crash boxes, 1:50 ratio & 40P prop will do 131-132 mph.

Thanks, i sorta figured they all had crash boxes. I was just wondering what it would do to the top end speed switching to a regular shiftable trans in a cat lite. Guess i was just thinking out loud like if someone were to buy a retired cat lite and want to "civilize" it for pleasure use (even thought its really not that tough to get use to shutting down to shift and re fire)

Speedracer will run 140 MPH with BONE STOCK 525s. With a hot set of 525s like Supercat light is running now it would approach 150 MPH.

Those are some impressive numbers and not doubting it for a moment. Curious, what is the fully rigged dry weight of the boat?
