For all of you guys crying about hull length, maybe you should remember that this is a "Vee Bottom Record Attempt." I don't see a minimum length mentioned anywhere in there. And just so you know, there is a hydrodynamic formula that correlates hull length to speed - and a longer hull of the same beam with the same power will generally go faster. (This explains the 27' & 29' Fountain statement.) Besides, who would be stupid enough to try for that record in a 16' Bayliner with a 1650 Merc stuffed in it? Lord knows it would be light enough to break the sound barrier.

47' with 1450hp. unless I`m looking at the wrong info:
Longways: Sorry AT man but length=weight=running surface. 27-29 ' fountain in your example is not quite 4' difference . One has a bustle the other a beak so its all a wash. Why do manufacturers build the exact same boat in different instances out of fiberglass, then kevlar, then epoxy? Your math is off my friend. Length does not dictate weight nor does it dictate speed. Hydrodynamics, efficiency, and drag... all multiplied by... chines, steps, pads, etc. etc. all come into play. --at levels to which only a few people in this sport really know anything about. Oh yeah, and they also test these boats in wind tunnels too. As such, one can't leave off aerodynamics. I was just going for a very, very basic example. |

(1650-1450) x2 = 300? umm ok

Those "stock" 1650s will easily make over 1700! Just ask the MTI camp. And I wouldn't call the canopied 43 a production boat.

Yea, there's always a hater in the bunch. I feel bad for people like that. I think no mater who is trying to break the record , its pretty cool. I wish more manufacturers would do new stuff. Its a sh!tty market still and a lot of them are struggling. So when one tries something new, they are all watching and it brings up the industry as a whole.
When I post to this site i always picture my kids reading it. So when were busting each other it should never get personal or that sh!tty its usually about the boats. But there is always someone who has to act like they are writing on a bathroom wall. |

It's a run-what-you-brung folks. Who gives a flying flip about HP?
If you want to measure something, measure the weight and clank of the driver's and throttleman's balls. JT knew when to say when in the Cigarette. |

Just some facts to throw out here.
1. As someone already mentioned, no one knows if those 1550hp motors in the fountain were actually 1550's. OL is doing this would STOCK 1650 Mercury motors, no guessing games on what they're "actually running". 2. The fountain was purpose built vs. Outerlimits PRODUCTION 43sv. 3. When Reggie broke the record, was that "corrected for technological advancement". Laughable statement. 4. Most importantly, haters will be haters!! |

OQ- he wasn't hating on you, his post had nothing to do about this- you made a comment earlier about 302s boat being horrible and that if he was trying to sell an OL he would have already sold it... All he was doing was giving you grap for giving that guy crap!
