I have been working on the Dragon boat,and its very fun to drive. It really pulls very hard. like if it has big supercharged engines. Just 525 mercs. so far I have a few more test this week but so far the speed is @ 97.5 MPH on the GPS in fresh water.

Does the Dragon have a cabin? Available with open cockpit?

I saw this boat over the weekend when i was at M.M.

Beautiful machine to say the least !!

magnum27 04-14-2004 12:01 PM

If I was going to race in factory 2, that would be the new boat of choice. Is anyone considering racing a Dragon?

Come on man I will do your boat either Friday or Monday I only have one truck!!:D

Buddy OO 04-18-2004 07:18 PM

dragon
 
I'm confident you'll see 100 with the 525's. are the its bravo xr shorties holding up ok. have you thought about the superchargers yet. would boost it to 775hp. have you got done with your design of the half widshield open cockpit 3/4 bolster configoration yet.is there any other 39's that will push 100mph out there right now. with that speed 90% of people would be happy with that speed. good job. you need a few around the us

Tres 04-19-2004 09:50 AM

OK last test run
 
We tested again on thursday evening. The boat ran 98 MPH with approx 80 or 90 gallons of gas, and a srong side wind. In all consideration I think it will run 100 in proper conditions. This is what the future is coming to. Eating up all those 40 foot boats with big power and #6 drives.

Wow you sure through down the gauntlet for John ( the owner ?) :eek: I'm looking forward to seeing the boat run up here in the Erie chop & now that the boats been seriously dialed in can we expect to see it at any of the big water runs ? I'd ask John but apparently his agreement with CB precludes him from making those decisions this year.

BTW I'm very impressed with your results, but lets not get carried away, the real world ( and some obsolete 40' footers) await ;) Run with, maybe....eating......hmm..
