Can you imagine the bar stool racing conversations:

Yeah, my dad has a Black Thunder that runs 165 mph!

Let me stress that I'm in no way shape or form taking away what they have accomplished. But after so many hull modifications, done , by I assume themselves, is the boat really still a " black thunder" ? They should seriously consider building there own boats. It very well is obvious it takes a lot more than just horse power to achieve those insane numbers. Black Thunder " parvey edition"!!

I dont think it matters if its the BT factory bottom or not, its still a floating apartment going 165 and getting there in only a mile!
