Who Has...
 
The BADDEST V Bottom boat? I'm not asking which manufacturer or race team either. Who as personal boat owner that just loves lake life or salt life has the baddest Vbottom out there? Pictures would be great! I would say on our lake ("Lake of the Ozarks") White Lightning is arguably the baddest Vbottom. I'm a Fountain guy but that boat is not only beautiful it is insanely fast and can handle anything from what I've seen. I just want other opinions on who is the what what when it comes to BADA$$ Vbottoms in the country??? Thanks.

Nate5.0 02-12-2014 07:03 PM

I would say White Lightning as well so should be interesting to see some other inputs.

buck183 02-12-2014 08:46 PM

When I see a thread like this there's a few boats that come to mind.

White Lightning as mentioned.
Wicked Won....Saber
Hot For Teacher...TS Top Gun

There's a straight bottom top gun that the name escapes me for right now. I thinks it's all red or mostly red. Someone help me.

Edit....Fat Boy is the name!

White Lightning

I'm guessing this was her old power. Couldn't say for sure.

I'm the FNG and don't want to step on any toes….but if "baddest" is the whole package i.e. detail, rigging, trailer, …I like our boat a lot.

Lee and his crew at Schiada do an amazing job…the boat has to be ridden in to be believed…Boostpower compound blown fuel injected big block detuned to 900 hp - while I get some seat time - and 1075 hp on tap with a few keystrokes.

It's not a 150 mph race boat, but it accelerates like a dropped brick, is rock solid at speed, and will blow your hair back on the big end.

White Lightning is pretty BADASS. At 2:00 and 4:00 in this video shows some good onboard footage. Boat was full of girls and we were taking it easy. It was really rough out Labor Day weekend 2013.

Some great boats have been mentioned....but the new paint on White Lighting does it for me. It's like Freedom One...timeless paint. I hope I am in a position to buy when they hit the market. I can tell you I was looking at Clifford very hard when it was on the market.

Comanche3Six 02-13-2014 02:46 AM

Kemosabe....The baddest offshore powerboat to handle the baddest offshore water that a trailer towed powerboat can tackle. The rough water benchmark.

This one. Brand new 52 Outerlimits SL with 1350's. Runs 140, been on it at 130 on flat water at LOTO with 7 people on the boat. The boat handles like a dream and turns like a slot car!

frickstyle 02-13-2014 10:15 AM

Most of the Big OL, GTXs
41-47 Apaches restored w/ big power
Sabers
White Lightening

Kind of hard to pick just one, great for different reasons.

Would look great running the Jersey shoreline from Sandy Hook to Atlantic City in some 4 to 6's just to keep it freed up! This Carson Brummett engine guy.....I wish he was an OSO member.....beautiful hardware from his shop.
