The *official* top speed poll
not after you win the lotto and sink millions into it.. what will you run NOW
PLEASE VOTE |
Want to get into boat racing and make a small fortune?
Start with a BIG FORTUNE!:D |
An obviously flawed pole as we already have three dreamers saying over 200MPH. :rolleyes:
|
I agree. Maybe there was some cofusion on the decimal point...
|
Oh good, there was a 0-49 one for me :D
|
Oh, don't worry hyper. Waterfoul should be joining you soonly. ;)
|
Is this speed on water, or on the
trailer :confused: That could significantly raise the bar:D :D ;) |
If I post the photo of the GPS "at speed", will you promise not to tell my insurance company? :D

According to the article the now have speed tables for boats and what they should do with "X" power. |
2 sets of engines; 1 for cuising and insurance, and 1 set for bragging rights.
|
If trailering speed counts ,I've had mine to 100 !!:D
|
just curious, could some of you 150- 210 people post pics of your boats, are they drag boats or offshore boats.
|
DRAG OR OFFSHORE BOATS;;
They are Bar Boats,,,, after each shot of Jack, they are 5MPH faster ,, at the end of the nite they all run 100, but the next day, I passed them all ,, and I was running 85
RHC |
My thoughts exactly but I didn't want to start a war.
|
:mad: I am not seeing 10 at speed gps photos and I have no plane tickets from fed ex...:mad: :mad:

Who are the other 2 under 49?
|
It's like watching a horse race checking on this poll!
|
31 boats (approx. 17%) in triple digits.
WOW!!! |

Sure wish I could post a pic of the top speed in my GPS. As I recall, it's around 490mph.

I don't have a pic to back it up, but I've seen 64.7 on the GPS at LOTO, just minutes before running a 59.8 on my shootout run. :mad: :mad: :mad: And how fast was your boat last season Tim?? Oh wait, you DIDN'T HAVE ONE THAT MOVED UNER IT'S OWN POWER!!!! |
Yes, I did...for about 15 minutes...before it broke. But I did hit 50mph! :D
|
I voted twice one for the '41 Higgins and the other an eggbeater
|
Bar Boats
Bar Boat?, I've over heard people look at mine and say, Geez lookie at that thar boat :D
|

|

I want to know who are the 3 going faster than 200mph...
I know of one and it's no small feat!!!!! Come on, fess up!! Anyway, it's a pretty reasonable bell curve, awesome! Kind of what I would expect, statistically. :cool: |
Hyper
My 20,000 pound diesel cruiser is one of your brethren. It only runs 41. You would've had another friend in there, too, but the 13' Whaler has been running over 50 since I swapped the 30 horse out for a hotrodded shortshaft Johnson 55. |

I've been meaning to post this for a while, this thread provoked it. I didn't know we were in such crowded company. Unless half of our team has submitted a vote.

This number didn't come easily. Theres a steep learning curve and it's taken a great deal of dedication and hard work by a resilient group of people to get there not to mention a very dedicated benefactor. We're not done yet either, it's just gains come in much smaller percentages at this point.
Top speeds one thing but wouldn't it be great to see what this boat could do on the offshore circuit... |
It's the Callan T-48
Not mine but I'm a bit partial to it. Twin T55 L-7 engines - 2,500 hp each. BPM Surface Drives jc |
Go to www.callanmarine.com.
It'll take me another 1/2 hour to size a photo down small enough to fit on the board. jc |
Marine performance. I think I am going to need a verification test ride. I am thinking that GPS was taken in some kind of mig fighter jet;) ;) WOW
|
When the boats "right" it's surprisingly calm. We have cockpit video at over 200 mph that looks like we're sitting at the dock. Propellers and lcg affect the boat pretty dramatically. We're going to attempt the propeller driven speed record with it again this summer. We were weathered out twice in December.
I don't know if you want the fuel bill, over 400 gph at wot. jc |
During our last high speed test session, (We've been testing OFFSHORE for the last few weeks) we had three back to back runs over 200 mph for over 2 miles at that speed.
jc |
Less than 18 seconds per mile
What does the hydro handle like? Are you steering or just holding on? jc |
