Fastest straight V?
 
What is it? Who owns it?

The old tub grinder 39 velocity race boat. 130?

Mike tick tacks fountain. 110+?

Excess energys 41 velocity?

Gentry scarab. 126?

A big power velocity 30? Supposedly one went 115.

That is a very good question. I look forward to all of the response, there might a straight V-bottom pleasure boat out there I have not heard of,....

Has this boat made a top speed run yet?

I would imagine it's a contender.

Fountain.

This is pretty good question. I would have to imagine the fastest straight bottom V would have to be over the 115-120 mph mark. Since there is a few sabers and apaches that are talked about running in the 105-115 mph range. If 115mph is the mark to beat, I may be awful close in my BT!!!

Think it was a triple Merc 1000 powered Fountain and the record was about 130 but I could be very wrong....

Is a Fountain really a straight vee? It has a pad bottom. I guess if a Velocity is allowed its ok. I did think you were talking about a "real" straight vee though.

A better question may be, what is the fastest non step V bottom out there?
