I believe Eddie Young had my phantom back in the day and it ran about 100 with one of his blower motors. Its a '94 VERY heavy 29, standard vee. Been toying with the idea of blower motor and breaking 100 again. The ride is unreal for a 29 but is also so well balanced it runs a good number for being so heavy.

Yep 24deg, notched transom. I added the 3" up box. I'm only running 700hp thus far but Eddie had a blower motor likely in the 900-1000hp range to get it to that speed if i had to guess. Maybe he'll see this and comment.

28 Howard - Theres a few of them with big power running 100+. One ran 130 several years back.
2750 Lavey Craft - Quent's 2750 ran 105+ with an open bow and ~1000hp. Look at thread in LaveyCraft forum.

Is that the blue and white one? What power are you going up to this year? Always thought that was a sharp boat, thought you might have sold it.

There has to be more 100 mph V bottoms out there come on out with it people!!!
So I will keep it going with a short blip on my old Checkmate. I bought it new in 1988, as a 454 TRS set up, bored out the motor changed the cam (ultradyne flat tappet), lighning headers, B&M Blower, NOS, speedy lower, K Planes, ran 98 (not 100) mph in 1988 and was very easy to drive no chine walking ran like it was on a set of rails, that same set up would run better with todays prop technology and intercooled.
Lets keep it going!
