who does triple digits
 

what single engine v hull can seriously do over the 100 mark. I have seen the kryptonite do it with 700hp, and of course million dollar outerlimits. But who else can with relative power, gps reality, and wave crushing ability. not an 8' bath tub

Well a guy on here named Travis can hit 90mph I believe with a Powerplay XLT-185 with I think is a 428ci with 545-600hp and a alpha SS.

Velocity will, Activator I would guess. I would guess there are more.

Attachment 496820 The yellow one is the Sarasota dog track Phantom 30 which runs 104

Attachment 496821 This one in the forground is Will Smith's, from Phantom, lunch run boat. Also a 30, that tickles 100mph. 99.6, last I heard. I wish I had better pics.

Who runs this boat?

I work at Silks poker room from Tamap Bay downs....we need out place to sponsor something like this lol.

Our 2012 Outerlimits 29SV ran 103 with a Merc HP600sci.

it would be cool to see a list of the different hulls with singles that can break 100 and the power they needed to do so.

Did it at loto last year 588 ci no power adder 26 velocity
103 mph

24 Progression Saris Racing 600 will be at or over 100 when dialed in...is at 97 now.
29 Kryptonite Saris Racing 800 @ 103
26 Velocity Saris Racing 850 at 104
All full cabin pleasure boats, the Krypto is even running a bone stock bravo prop

nice! have any pics of the Velocity?

do you have a standoff box on the kryptonite? i was wondering how much its needed. my buddy Ron had a 100 mph 29 with 740hp/standoff box/ shortie. id like to do more power in mine at some point (going 93 with 650) and keep wondering if a shortie and or standoff are needed

i think i could get my 30 sonic w/ a single 700HP 540 to hit/break 100mph, if i turned up the boost in my truck. but i dont think it would be to safe going that fast with it on the trailer down the road :lolhit:

haha! dont forget to leave the key on for the speedo recall!

pictures gentlemen, lets compare hull technology.

I m at 96 whit 560hp in front of imco -3 extreme sc drive on my 21 phantom ( uk ) turning a stock 28 bravo prop hope to hit the 100 mark whit some prop testing and tweaking

Howard 28 does it.

:lolhit: good idea for resale lol " she will do 100mph here look at the recall" :lolhit:

Seen a 24 Checkmate in Ohio with 632CID GPS 106 mph, on 2 different guages.

Yeah, a few years ago didn't that set a top speed??? close 2 a buck 20 wasn't it????

My dads old 25' checkmate hit 111 mph at the radar run on the potomac river

So far: 103 mph @ 5900 rpm (500 to go...) Bone stock Ilmor 725/Indy package, 28' hull.

My 30' Checkmate sneaks in. :)

260 velocity best of 113 on radar gun and gps. This vid was on a flat water day.....105 http://youtu.be/O1Jxvh20Y14

The TUFF 21 ran 102mph with a 300x outboard.

Their TUFF 28 ran 95 with a stock 525 and no setup so it would obviously run over 100 with a 600 or 700.

I believe there is a link on here with a Howard 28 at 128mph, but I can't seem to find it.

There are 2 or 3 28' Nordic Heats doing 100 and change, takes north of 1000HP to do it.

I thought so too. Teague was driving right?

Pretty sure there's at least one Superboat Y2K up there, not sure on exact HP, I'm thinking 850+ though...

Standoff box makes it worse, weve set up 4 27s and 29s. Right on the transom is the way to go. Shortie, maybe. I have all the measurements from the ones weve rigged. With/without the box is a night/day difference...they handle SO much better without it.



Forgot to mention a 26 Checkmate ZT260 with one of our 1100s in it going 113 :)

Worse how just out of curiosity?

I have a box on my heat, and from the research I've done it does nothing. I'm considering removing it.

Sorry for the thread creep-

When I was living in the metro Detroit area 25 years ago I remember some guy from the downriver area in a 23FT Checkmate single I/O running by me like I was dragging and anchor, and I was running 98 MPH on my Norskog Calibrated speedo in my 25 Checkmate blown NOS injected 468 motor! Never found out who he was but had to be going 120 or better. I would never have believed it I it didn't happen to me first hand. Always wanted to know WTF he was running for a set up!! never seen him again.

One of my fav vid's. TT Nordic rage at 114-

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.

I've seen Matt Brownie of Brownie racing engines run 118 MPH on radar in his Velocity 240 at the Tim's 2 radar run on the Potomac river in 2012. The boat had a blown 540, bravo drive with imco internals.

I think the fastest single engine v-bottom stern drive is the Howard 28 Bullet @ 122 mph, I might be wrong.

With the 29s, the swim platform prevents you from getting the drive high enough to make the boat handle right. Remember, the farther back the drive is mounted, the higher it needs to be. I drove a 29 to 110 with this setup, scariest thing ive ever done. The 29 with it right on the transom on the other hand, its at 105 with one hand on the wheel and no tab in the water. Once the one with the box got upset, there was no correcting it.

I think I solved your 25yr old mystery. This was probably the boat, crazy fast!

Checkmate vision 22' ran 131.62 mph! Not bad for 1990 and the fastest single engine v hull I've heard about.

Wow! Thats pretty damn fast for a 22' boat. I would have to install a porta potty to puke in then clean out the pants after that ride. :poopoo:

YES!! THAT IS THE BOAT!! I didn't think that anyone would believe me! That thing was sitting on the prop as it KICKED MY A$$, Imagine going close to 100MPH and somebody in a 22ft blowing by you as if you were trolling in a fishing tournament!! I guess I was lucky in one respect to have seen that thing run!! Flat out amazing for the Time!!! As someone said on that forum link " Can you imagine what he would be running if he was doing it today"

18' Stingray w/ custom shortened Alpha. Kicked every million dollar boat on Barnegat Bays a$$:party-smiley-004::lolhit:

how about the fountain guys, 29 single step. what speeds are they seeing?
