Hmm I spent over an hour with Nick and Todd on Thursday at the booth talking about their great boats and the patented tunnel design Todd must have left that little detail out of the conversation.

The new 1350 boat has only been run once and is nowhere near that speed, and the turbine has not broken 200 either. Both boats are beautiful however!

If it were a 1350 boat it would 4 x 1350, then with caveat of maybe reaching 207 mph, with two Lycomings T-55's - 2 x 2,850 hp each, then I would not be suprised at all with a 207 mph pass in ideal conditions.

Either way it would be one helluva boat to own, and I would love to own but for me, it's only dreams I'm never gonna see.

207? Did they drop it out of a plane? Or just the GPS ?

And as far as fast boats go, you can easily die in a 100 MPH boat too. At what speed do we say a boat is "too fast" and shouldn't be built or sold?
lets slow down on the accord bashing,i just bought one

I think most of you realize the premise of this thread is hearsay.

But, since the thread exists...
I am gonna take the opportunity to alert you guys to:



A Statement plays a big role in the movie.

Let's see the picture of the GPS.

No way it ran 207mph!!

Maybe 180mph with Turbines.

Great thread to get everyone cranked up before LOTO and Desert Storm though... LOL
