What a great mental image! I can see it now: "16' Bayliner Flies like Hovercraft to Beat World Record!"

Does anyone know if Fountain and Outerlimits plan on running during the same weekend? I sure hope so, if that's the case i'm going to go watch.

The great Baron von Schwartz along with JT's English 1/2 cousin twice removed, Tohnny Johnlimson will be there to public humiliate Spike Fiore and Reggie Whatshisname. When asked by Matt Trajilloski of the Swiss Alpine Waterski Team how fast the great Baron planned on runnng the schwartzcraft C5000MTNT, the Baron replied that he will beat Spike and/or Regheed's best by at least 100 mph adding "and thats with the little props" a he smashed his fist down on the table.

This is my nomination for the hardest left-turn, thread hijacking and off-topic post in all of my 11 years++ here on OSO. Brian, you are THE MAN !!!

The record had nothing to do with HP, or size. Get in a V hull and break it, simple right??

Take a look at this image and let me know where the transom stops on the 43 ft LOA OL? Get some new material, or petition the coast guard to measure boats in a different way.

Yeah but bussels are cool, so they count.

My Baja is slow. But is has a full wet bar and ice maker. Which makes it cooler than your Fountain. (literally and figuratively) And since its a 32 its still longer than your 38 in post beak length.
