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:)

thx rdave, thats amazing. congrats to the builders and drivers!
:eekdrop:

Nordic has one right now with a merc 700/nxt setup, they took it to the LA boat show. Talk to Thane@ Nordic

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.

RD

i only wish the controls were on the right, guess im old school. but still a beautiful boat.
also have to say congrats to brendon in his 25 daytona 6 cylinder (impressive) and to revolution performance marine turning in some great mph in there class.

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

RD

That 28ss is an excellent looking rig , Dave do you have any more pics of Bucks boat ?

Pet me look around and ill see what I have..



RD

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.

I really like that boat...

do you know which outdrive he is running? upper and lower?

Edit.
I thought i knew but was thinking of another ss..

SCX upper sc lower maximus prop

oh really??????

I am the guy that throttles the 28ss for Buck,it has never ran 151,YET,the best it has done so far is 146,that what the gps said when we ran our last run at Loto and they radar us at 148,that is the last time the boat has been in the water.
Buck has Gary doin some more work to it rite now and we are lookin to beat our last years record,what i can tell yeah is i am very impressed how the boat handled at 146,it is very cape-able to go faster...

146, 148 that's moving in a single engine cat, nice job!

This thing probably runs pretty good...

is this boat a light lay up? carbon fiber areas? not 150 but i bet it will do it soon. those are some great numbers in one mile, congrats. ive already measured it wont fit in my garage, i would only have 6 inches between boat and door if the trailer would fold enough. my wife has to walk around the boat to get in house without opening the boat door. :angry-smiley-038: makes me sad:(

upgrading the htm from 565 (650hp 101gps) to a carson brummit 572 twin turbo (1300hp) this summer. we shall see how it does but planning to prop it for acceleration to about 130. to scared to see what it would do propped for top speed but pretty sure it wouldnt come close to the 140 plus. im a lear pilot not a test pilot:)

Paging Steve Tripp. :lolhit:
Does anyone know what the red rpm 26 with the #6 on the back ever ran? I would bet that the Nordic 27 that was mentioned, Steve Tripp's personal RPM 26 and Brendan's PSI racing supra powered eliminator 25 would be the boats to watch for.

Interesting - I think there must be more in it - maybe setup is an issue. My 30 Spectre hit 96.4 gps with the old 260s on it. Two people, half tank. With more hp and less drag in the water, I'd think you should be over 100 any day.

End of hijack. LOL

Stay tuned but its going to be faster than people think
:eekdrop:

SCX upper / not sure on lower, but maybe SC

I'm gonna stick my foot up Thane's ass when I see him.. LOL He told me the boat already ran 151. Unless maybe that wasn't for public consumption?

RD

Appreciate mentioning my 25 Daytona.... Gotta give tons of credit to Buck and the 28 Nordic...That thing is moving... as for my setup, I just put together a new motor with some slight changes. We will be at Desert Storm 100% to see what the new set up can do, should be alot of fun and looking forward to meet all the west coast guys!!! Stay Tuned guys, should be an interesting 2013!!!

i wouldnt be surprised with that number (151):eekdrop:
i also wouldnt be surprised if steve beats the crap out of his 2012 number next yr. the rpm hauls the mail, per hp that boat is fast. i wanted one but the wife said buy used and cheaper. although his boats are a bargin for what you get. thx steve for all the info in the past, im whipped, the wife is the boss. lol

congrats again on the boat, ive seen all the videos on youtube. i still want to run the fl keys with yall, maybe one day. i have no idea how yall squeeze that power out of the i-6. although ive seen many supra's on youtube with a crap ton of power. im hoping the new carson brummit motor will wake up the htm ss24, unfortunataly my random work schedual keeps me from many of the events.

Appreciate it La/stryker... it hasnt been all that easy getting our baby inline 6 to run that #... I couldnt be happier and all the great support weve gotten... Hope everyone has seen the spring issue of Sportboat were we made the last paper copy with a full feature!! and let mee know when you come south and we will hit up the keys, great boating water!!!

Can't wait to see the new power . Artie

I was at 8000 feet.

Not really i made it all up...what does it matter anyway i no longer have insurance remember.

Ahhhhh. :lolhit:

Oh Geez nobody will post speeds now cause they will be worried about the insurance police. :poopoo:

My brother bought some life insurance a few years ago and the company gave him tobacco rates, he does not smoke. But they found a video on youtube of him chewing which he has done a couple times....

Devon is joking he knows exactly what my boat does...

That 144mph pass in Parker, AZ by Bob Teague in a 25 Eliminator Daytona is awesome!

I asked Bob about that run at TCM a few years back, and he said he couldn't feel the bottom of the boat at that speed. Super fast, for a boat that size!


I saw that boat in person at Eliminator after the run, the Quad, carb Whipple engine looked sweet sitting in their showroom!

Brendan can you post the details of your turbo engine? Saw it on YouTube.

Brendan: Please scan and post... I am dying to see the article.

Did you use a Toyota 6 for your engine base?
