fastest single engine cat
 
fyi, many times have i read where the fastest single engine cat bravo style drive was the htm at 143. then i found a post where bob teague drove a 25 daytona eliminator to 144, and said never again.
now i look at the lake of the ozarks 2012 finals, a 28 ft (longer class at loto) hit 148 in a mile with bravo style outdrive. but still a single engine boat, wow!!!!
to give credit it was a nordic 28ss with i think 1350hp.
either way i think the single engine (bravo) drive record has been smashed.
i have a htm but CONGRATS to the guys at nordic for kicking azz. i might need to look at a new boat:)

I have a bunch of onboard footage of the 28SS with a 565 that we filmed a couple weeks back.. and some aerials of it as well.

When I get the video put together I'll post it here.

Nordic is a "custom" boat builder now that Randy own's it.. They will put them on the right if you want.

I own a SS anything you want to see let me know.

As far as speed...I have a 600SCI in mine ran it stock all last year. The best i hit was 97 with two people and half tank of fuel water was perfectly smooth. On July 5th I had a good head wind a 1 foot chop full of fuel with four people and two coolers and hit 94, i think i could have hit 100 that day if i pushed everyone out, but if's and buts are candy and nuts right.

Going to do the stg 2 kit from whipple this year and get that 100 deal that my ego is pressing me on.
