Definetly has to be the fastest non step 9 1/2 beam boat out there. Maybe I will shoot for 135mph in a year or so. Thanks for the compliments.

You have got some talent from the pictures on your build. What do you think your boat weight is? Nice job!

I would think that if someone had the $ and desire to put current "big" power in a straight bottom hull you would see 150 give or take depending on the hull.

The CGS Velocity was running 130's back in the mid to late 90's , their big problem was keeping the motors together .

I might have missed it, who owns the Velocity now?

Hi!

There are straight v ski 21-22 feet boats in Australia equipped with Merc 1350 hp running close to 130 mph with two skiers behind.. :)

Cheers Toffen

I've always loved those videos.

I guarantee that sport started with the phrase "Here, hold my beer" "Im going to tie by buddy to the back of my 1000 horsepower jetboat"
