My post was a hypothetical senerio. If he were to put together that combination I have no doubt that it would be the fastest V hull with 1350's.

The newer five steps boats only require a little positive trim past neutral. You do not have to trim it to the moon.

Honestly I don't know if it ever did and can't remember the actual top speed. Pretty sure it did more than 151mph since that was a gas pump tune and was having water pressure issues which later got fixed. its been awhile I my memory isn't what it used to be.

Actually I just asked Dustin and the fasted it went was 154mph and had more in it. I believe if someone wanted to they could get that boat over 160mph.

MP

" It had more in it" never heard that before

Video from our 145mph run at the Loto Shootout 2015. Not as fast as Billy boats or Sgro, but still crusin....

Boat is 16yrs old, we have modified the bottom multiple times. Everything with the motors (except machine work) and dialing in has been done by us. Boat was originally rigged by Dan MacNamara @ Archer. The kilo vee record at the time had just been set by the 42' Fountain Ocean Spray @ 134mph. Times have sure changed......

Has been a fun project with my dad over the years!

Coolerman's boat, Dennis and Jason, is the "Coolest" boat that runs at the Shootout wether V or Cat. A testimate to all of their hard work and testing.

If anyone told me that they got a 43 Black Thunder to go that fast I would have laughed my a$$ off. That is absolutely amazing, and a great job done.

Is that boat a pad bottom ? In the video of it running by it looks like it has 2 steps, but in the video of it idle in driveway it looks like a straight bottom
