Hello all,
This is a boat I built that took me about 2 years. Somehow it went a little out of control and I wound up designing every part in it from every step, grab handle, engine hatches, engine hydraulic lift system, lighting package inside and tunnels, and underwater, the engines, the wiring, the massive stereo which we have hitting 154db which is loud, it has an onboard generator system and a million other details. I built the boat because I own and built the X Power Drive company and I wanted something to display it on. The motors are 602 ci psi blower motors with Motec fuel management system with full data acquisition system. On low everyday boost they make 1285hp on high boost they make a little over 1600 hp. I have only run the boat on low boost and it goes a little over 180 mph. It has a lot of stuff that I brought in from the car racing industry, such as an automated pid trim function, closed loop fueling, telemetry that you can watch via a hotspot in the boat. While the boat is running, at home you can see all the virtual gauges going. All the lighting in the boat and the tunnels changes color via a push of a button. It has zenon underwater lights. It has carbon throttles made in england, and a super light omp carbon steering wheel. The boat was laid up with a carbon kevlar bagged layup. I do most of my boating in Lake Havasu but would really love to make it to Florida and give it a shot there. If you have any question feel free to ask..

I'll post some interesting underwater shots of the drive while running. Pretty fun. Also their is a rear facing camera video at lake elsinore where we do some testing and we go between 140-170mph. The faster speed starts at 7:40 minutes, you can hear the blowers whistle while doing their job.
