Tmp Cyclone
 

Well I just got my new Hot Boat and read the Cyclone Article. After seeing the Speedometer standing at 174, I have come to the following conclusion: Steve.......you, Eddie and David are FRICKIN INSANE! I thought you were kidding. I know that when I was in it going across 3 and 4 foot swells at 150 to 155 on Lake Ponc, I was about to crap my pants! My hair is just now starting to grow back.....most of it blew out. Thanks for letting me sit in the back where all of the wind force is.......not to mention that we went around the lake about 3 times at that speed. What really tripped me out was that there was a quarter stick of throttle left......with 6 BIG ASS guys and a full load of gas at 155. I am driving next time! If we get another set of 1400's......IM FRICKIN DRIVIN!! I am going to see if I can top that ride in your boat......I have sent a letter to Southwest and asked them if I can ride on the outside of the plane on the wing on the next trip from Nashville to New Orleans. Like I said...if you guys make any more horsepower....I am going to be standing on the bank at the scene of the crash sayin "Those TMP guys were some crazy cajuns"!

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Thanks. We are working right now on a new engine that should exceed 1550HP on 100 octane. The engines will be ready for the summer, and you'll get your ride.

don't forget me either :D i will be their the first saturday of May for sure this year

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Awsome ride.

A couple question about the boat and the article...

In the article they mention a woman owns it... then in the following Poker Run coverage in Louisiana they mention a gentelmen owns it and then it is listed for sale on fastboats.com.
Is it just a chronological progression, am I mistaking or maybe they all vapor lock when they get the insurance bill and sell it!

It sure is a fast rig both in speed and ownership!!!

tomtbone,

Let us know if you're coming, as we will be taking some our customers out the night before the run, and you're welcome to join us.

GLH,

The boat is owned by Merrit Cabal and her fiance David Richard. Merrit does most of the driving, as you'll see on the Travel Channel Extreme Boats show we did. She throttled the boat while Brittani, drove over 150 MPH. We run the boat for the high speed runs.

They are currently building a new boat which will be debuted very soon. Thanks.

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

as many times as I have been to TMP all I ever get to enjoy Steve and Eddies great personalities :D

But seriously I would scream like a little girl at 170+mph :drink:

How was the ride at that speed?

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Thanks for clearing up my confusion TMP.

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

The ride is awesome at all speeds in these boats. NorTech has done their homework, and truly is a cut above. The best part is that this boat has a full cabin, with A/C and Gen.

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

How would one find out when and where you are testing to beg for a ride??:D

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

I agree rode one in KW up to 130...

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

We are heading to NorTech tomorrow to check on the new boat. We are currently working on the engines, and hopefully should be on the water in the next few months.

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Here are a couple of pics of Merritt and Brittani driving the boat for an Extreme Boats Mag. photo shoot. They ran around 150 that day.

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Holy $hit!! Your talking about Brittany Spears!?!?!?? I hope when they ran 150 they had more of a life vest on than the picture shows!!!! :eek:

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

I saw the same thing!!! I was going to e-mail HotBoat and tell them to get their head out of their Butts..........There was something else in that issue that was wrong or messed up, I'll have to look for it.....

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

they got their bouys.... :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

tmp solved that problem above..... they're engaged...

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

I have a 30ish second video of Cyclone passing me at ?????? incredible, go to my website, turn up the sound on your computer to 11. If that is Spears, now I know why she was hanging around me at Martha's Vineyard, guess she wanted to get a good look at the boat she was going to spank. <gg>

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Thanks guys. No, that's not Britney Spears.
Sean, You're right, they float!

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

never saw them that whole weekend :rolleyes:

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

I guess the value of Cyclone just seriously plummeted with TMP motors :D

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Isnt that the Effin truth. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh well, at least Eddie is headed in the right direction....and closer too...at least for me.

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Good to see you back on the board :D

Re: Tmp Cyclone
 

Your PM baited me back in. I was almost out......just when I think I am out.....THEY CALL ME BACK IN!!! :D
