I have to agree standing next to to a Top Fuel Hydro warming the motors is unbelievable. When that thing gets to popping and they hit the throttle and blow the tent up in the air, you get chills. Simply awesome

T2x, it's got to be from this era and working to count.

The big Jesse James with Batten engines.

Not if you had worked on that project..............

I used to say you could set your watch by how long it took each engine to expire........

You throttled up,
The boat planed,
The 4 tachs climbed,
The speedo climbed
one oil pressure gauge dropped to zero
another oil pressure gauge dropped 50%
one tach started to move in the opposite direction
one motor started to missfire
tachs started to move up and down randomly
etc, etc, etc.

But this one sounded......sooooooo sweet!

It may have a 1968 trailer plate (those 10 years were HUGE in terms of speed)....but that Jones tunnel will still outrun 80% of the boats today.

Here's a Kitson Kraft that'll clean a few clocks too.

Yep. No question. I have heard INXS, all 3 Big Thunders, Planetman, Miss Budweiser, etc. Sorcerer is the meanest.

How about this?

how bout a screamin' Skater with twin efis? Love that noise too

BTW, not working today, just trying to drive you people nuts;) Sitting on my picnic table with the laptop on the water looking at my 16' Starcraft bob.
