Rob, Where do you get this stuff?:cool: :cool:

Awsome. Love the shoots from the shore as well.

Holy crap that looks like fun, miss the piston sound though. Did they say 116 or 160?

116

I thought they said 160. Those people in the back may as well been on the wing of a plane. They can't hold on because they are holding their ears, they should have ear plugs and goggles:D

I have seen this video on several sites and it was 160 MPH

I think they did say 160...that was at the Havasu poker run 2 years ago...I think. I think it was posted on exxxtreme boats or some website I use to have bookmarked.

the hottie had a smile from ear to ear :D from that angle they look like they are in a plane:crazy: :D :D

open ......stick your head out the window at 160 and you to can have an ear to ear smile:D ;)

WOW! I think I heard 160 also.
JK

Incredible. :)

WOW

Incredible video and audio....looks a little scary for me though when they switch direction quickly to cross a wake and looks like maybe they cut the other boat off that was close behind them. YIKES! At 160 MPH any sudden movement could be real scary I'm sure.

Hey, does that there have one of em Hemis??


Definately piston motors. Sounded like a frigin airplane.

Yes piston and were they in tune, that thing was hitting all cylinders as it passed, clean and smooth.

Screamin Blowers!!!
 

Awesome:D :D :D

Felt like I was riding!! That was really cool. cool:

Thanks for the link.

Wow... I wonder what its like having that thing FLY past you at 160MPH....

That was sweet. Thanks for the link.

I was at the poker run and I believe they posted a top speed of 161 that weekend.

The motors are built by Larry Peto out of Tucson AZ.

The boat that was running with them is a 34' DCB. They blew a motor shortly after passing across Predator's wake.

TTT:D

Look for the upcoming issue of Extreme Mag. who did a photo shoot on a 32 skater named B'yond Reason. Should be a photo of the GPS showing 164mph on the afternoon run to Parker Dam.

Predator = skater40

HavasuCig is right...Dave blew an engine (Teague 1200) in Defreese's F-34 at 150MPH or so...the boat made a "hard right turn" across his wake.

Yeah it was 160. The same video that was on Extreme Boats website

Poker Run DVD
 

I have about 12 DVDs left from the Spring 2003 Poker Run. This DVD has the full poker run video, Preditor video, poker run station video (a must see) and the shake rattle and role video (onboard video of the start) all on one cd for $20 + $1.50 for shipping. If your interested send a check to AHBA PO Box 86331 Phoenix, AZ 85080 and don't forget to include a return address. By the way the April '03 poker run had 200 boats at Lake Havasu, Arizona. Just a great video for poker night. Also thanks to Pix N Flix for producing the video.

ps Thanks to Gary Smith & Preditor for the ride at the Oct poker run, 154mph. Yes, sitting in back you need to hold on to your glasses and head set. But what a ride!!

Definitely 160. 116 is childs play in a big cat.

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

Nothing better than a Skater going 160 without a canopy, 4 people on board without helmets wearing marginal vests, and passing bowriders that are going 25mph....... talk about recipe for disaster!

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

your right dh, those bowriders need to pick up the pace a little...

although i do question where all this speed is gonna lead to some day... i can call up a hand full of builders and have a 170-180 boat built today, no questions asked...

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

i think you should just stay focused on the resin bucket GD is fixing, then we will talk about moving up.......... :D :D :D :D

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

it might never get done since dave is at the derby and your trying to lure him away like he is some 15 year old girl... :D :evilb:

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

that's alright, daves horse won't be coming in this weekend.....

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

LOL. :D :D


I do think you should be in a full canopy doing those numbers. It might not matter anyway, but why not. :cool:

Re: Poker Run Video Predator 160 MPH
 

Let's talk about a recipe for disaster......
Nothing better than driving down the freeway in L.A. and some knucklehead that shouldn't be in a toy car, let alone a 6000lb. SUV trying to hit you, and some kids on a bridge throwing bricks at your windshield, and some scum bag shooting at you...
I'd rather be in the back seat of Predator...ANYDAY!!

Can I get an AMEN ?
