109 MPH picture!

These guys were so cool. Came from Norway, paid 10k to ship there boat over to run in the shootout. It wouldnt fit in a shipping container, so they had to shrink wrap the boat and set it on the deck of the ship.. Crazy! They were on the same dock as me and I was able to find them some storage at the lake for the year so they didnt have to ship the boat back and forth. They will be coming back a week before the shootout next year to do some testing to hit the 120 next year hopefully. ended the weekend on a 119 run.

I too was very impressed by how fast that boat went, thank you for the post, interesting.

One of the crew members daughters drives a boat that looks exactly like this, just smaller with a single Merc 150 on it that does 70mph in Norway as well. They were looking for props for it while they were here to get more out of it, but he showed me pics and it was badass and on a rail just like this one.

COOL...a VR 1! Any idea how it did?
