Yes the truck is unique. If it helps, I could go look at the boat and take some pictures of it. Not that far for me. Good luck.

I was thinking the same number. For comparison, my 382 with Procharged 500efi's (reported 830hp) would hit 98. So, a triple 800hp 419 very likely could hit 104.....barely.

Back in the early 90's James Easton built a formula to try to break the V-bottom speed record. On the first test run it hit 118 mph and delaminated and sunk. It was during winter and the occupants ended up in the water and about died of hypothermia. If I remember right it had triple Lingenfelter supercharged engines (that were gold plated(not kidding)). He has a plaque on his wall of his shop that has the steering wheel and deck hatch and a piece of the torn fiberglass on it.

If the engines and drives are in good shape that is a nice boat for the money!

We have about 900-950hp and arnesons in a 382 and in a running mile hit 110mph before we ran out of water.
Under my user name on YouTube I have some great rooster tail videos from that boat.

There is a guy on OSO (I forget his name but he is a friend of Full Force) that has a formula that does 104 or 107 I think, I forget what size it is.

And I don't think Formula Ever stepped up to make it right.

It's a 353 with centrifugal superchargers.

353s seem to be a good hot rod for the price. Mid sized step hull boat that can really move with some extra power.

A 353 in Louisville runs Pro Chargers Island Hopper but didn't think he made triple digits?
Dixie Doug would know...
