Awesome. I've been waiting for somebody to stick a zoomied alcohol engine in a boat. If I owned an engine shop, I would do the same thing.

More like he owes me.......to the tune of 3 botched $hit engine builds, approx 60k that I would of been better off setting on fire. I could easily of done this with one of the many mismatched, molten lava pistons that were pried from the cylinder walls after his final attempt to build what amounted to 850hp motor. A "2200hp" engine in a 24' boat....running a blistering 106mph. Congrats....he now has something that can run in the pontoon class at This Years Shootout. This boat is so gay it should be raffled off at A Glory Hole In a LGBT Target Bathroom.

Am I the only one who thinks 106 MPH in that length hull with (supposedly) 2,200 HP is more than a little disappointing?

No, I am sure he is disappointed as well. He ran faster than that testing before he left. I watched it. But is was too rough and no one ran as fast as they could there Friday. But they are all alive today because they were smart enough to back off.

I agree. My buddies 27' Rage runs 105 with 900. But my hat still goes off to Tyler for running his boat to 106. joker's are a real pile of crap.

I have talked to Tyler many times...not once has he ever said that he runs his boat to satisfy the peanut gallery and make them happy.
