* please note* NO apache is eligible for this thread due to the fact they piss me off at the first mention of them cause I am so freakin sick and tired of hearing about these damn things:hothead:

42' Outerlimits GTX 149.7mph

APACHE :D :D :D

Just had to do it!:p ;)

As I first started reading this thread, I was going to post myself, for I am nipping at the heels of those guys, give me a few more months.... Then I saw I am listed, but my speed is wrong. But since it is 2mph GPS faster than I can do (that is with no gas, no shoes, no diner, just having urinated, no anchors, 1 lifejacket) I will leave it be at 47mph.

Oh yeah, good to see no Apaches on this thread.

Xtreme Xhibit, the 50 Nor-Tech cat is not the former Warbird. Warbird has been converted to turbines and will be tested after the Miami Show. Xtreme Xhibit has seen 175 MPH and has more in store for 2000 and four.
The Montano/Hartman turbine 50 cat runs in the 150's

I ment he used to post here under WARBIRD

:D :D :D :D Relax its almost Friday;)

Well, I went 200+...but it was on my turbo Hayabusa. :D

OK, but that's still not him. Warbird lives in Ft. Lauderdale, sold his 4th Nor-Tech, retired from offshore and last owned a 540 Sea Ray.
Xtreme Xhibit is in Rochester. Different boats, different owners.

King Sting 32 Skater twin 1300+HP Saris Racing Engines

runs how fast??

Leon Derebery B'yond Reason
32 Skater- 2x1200HP
164 MPH Last year top end
162 At LOTO this year.

Actual top speed attained? I am not certain. I do know that is the only boat so far tohave broken 100MPH on Lake Tahoe and they have seen in excess of 180.

Howard Arneson's boats have been going 170+ for well over a decade.

I think the Sourcerer (sp) skater is up there too.

There was a Full canopy 40 Skater on Texoma powered by turbines named Arneson. I believe it was an ex-arneson race boat. It had 18x mph on the side. It burned 2 years ago.

Al Copelands turbine Skater is up there pretty good.

Rudden Motorsports from Long Island is a contender. It is a 32' Skater powered by Mercury 900SC's mated to Mercury #6 out drives. This picture is of when it was an outboard powered 32'. It has since been reconfigured at Skater with the 900's/6's.

I believe the Bacardi Silver boat has been over the 200 mph mark also. The smaller, black one, not the white one.

Cool Thread. I can't wait to read more of it at home! Any Cigarettes in there?

You should put the boat name, maker and power.

Leaving work now to go get Photoshop!

Dont forget BigCat on this board with his brand new MTI 39 with a pair of 1300hp Eickerts........

we have a local boy with a 32 skater call Agitator that went 144 on st clair river this year in an unofficial kilo run during the offshore races

In "V" bottoms, he's the boss...

Cyclone, 36 Nortech cat with twinn 1000 TMPs-161mph

I heard he "kissed" 160mph in his new epoxy GTX with monster Sterlings recently:eek:

Callan Marine current best....209mph....recorded at LOTO Shootout.

wowwow

I have been 178 on G.P.S. in Copelands 48 Skater with two T 58 Pratt Whitneys. 1800 H.P. a-piece with water alcohol injection. What a rush!!!! He is currently changing to Twin 3000's. I will definitly watch the first runs with binoculars.

to quote Frank Barone "holy crap"

I'd pay to see that run 160

sweet keep em comming guys awsome tread

If you are judging by top speed only, my vote is for Callen.

But I think that the reliability should be a factor in all of these piston powered boats. Sure they all run fast for the first 10 hours. Or maybe even the 75 hours (doubt full) as the warranty suggest. But these turbines just run and run and run! Your only worries are drives. Turbine are much more easy on drives to begin with, smooth constant power flow.

Extreme Exhibit came up to the thousand islands poker run last summer, wanted to get beside My Way. He did, wasn't as fast and then broke!

My Way didn't finish a poker run up hear till it was turbined!

So if speed is the only judging factor in this thread, fine. But I think the boats mentioned above, and to be mentioned, should be finishing the races the start. And that be taken into consideration.

Can the speed be done in bursts, or all day long?

My name is Jeff, these are my opinions
Sun 288 (Canada Jeff);)

well , if it catches fire maybe mike branford will be out in the lake and scoop him up:D

here's a couple pics of xtreme and my way taken at the 1000 island poker run 2003.

Bacardi Silver did hit over 200 in August in Washington, NC. It was a wonderful thing to see....

the turbines are in a class by themselves....my .02

dyno,you're right compare apples to apples.
