Thanks everyone for the kind compliments!

Unfortunately, there was some more left in the tank, but a broken skeg was the limiting factor on Sunday. See attached pic, and notice the difference in rpms..... Anyone who knows vee's, knows that having the engine/props/drives unbalanced at those speeds is a real challenge.

Irregardless, we are pretty happy with 145mph!

Amazing numbers! The fact you guys achieved all this by doing pretty much, if not all the r&d yourselves! I'm speechless, it takes a whole lot of passion! Maybe 15 years from now my old girl will get close! LOL!

Congrats!

I saw you guys rolling north through Cedar Rapids today. Congrats on your successful passes and look forward to seeing you guys back out next year. Exactly how fast can a Black Thunder possibly go?
