Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Heard someone might be going really really fast in a V bottom in the cold waters of Rhode Island with a new boat before the Miami Boat Show.

Did anyone else hear something? Or did I get Enzoed?

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

A one of a kind OL maybe.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

What do you want to know? :D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

whatever you want to tell? 42? 47? sterling? racecrafters? something else?

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

47 and big no name power.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Your right.Dont count the kid out though. :D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

and what is big in todays numbers? 1500? 1600? 1800? 2000?

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

I knew that was coming when i was typing it you penis. :D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

heard 47 Sterlings

I hear racecrafters are not viewed nicely after last summers subpar performance.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Those are the numbers that are rattled off.You probably would want to bring 1600 or more to this gunfight.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Was at the dock when they failed and not viewed nicely is putting it light.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Ohhh, ya never know what kind of digits will come out of....um.....the North BUT.........oh, never mind :rolleyes: :D :eek: :drink: :drink: :drink: Cheers boys!!

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

now we need some pics.... :D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

This sh1t is more hush hush than NASA.You would need sattelite pics for either boat.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

well get it done, crawl on some roof tops, hide in the garbage cans, dress up like a woman..... oh wait, you already do two of those things... :cool:

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

That was Masher fool.Just listen to what little birdies tell you. :D :D :p

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

well, if some v-bottoms start going north of 170 i want to hear about it..... :drink:

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

They better go north of 180 to lay their cards out.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Man . . . oh man.

LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. . . the secrecy, the intrigue, the PONIES.
Reggie should just go out and set the bar. In a wicked cool 47'er that the World has never seen. Gasping . . . sucking air . . . scrapping the banners.

Hey . . . there's always NEXT year.

Does the flux capacitor run on plutonium or run on refuse? :evilb: :D :evilb: :D :drink:

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

the question is does it have the hover conversion yet?

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

They are already pushing 200 (my team :)). Reggie and Ben were at 183 out of the 177 pass last summer. I have to talk to some people who would have a good inside scoop today. I'll keep you posted with any details.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

One more thing. OL is an ubelievable boat and hat's off to Mike, but the records have to be done in the same conditions, etc. to be legit. It is obvious that you can go faster in a 5 mile stretch than a kilo.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Reggie will just have to keep the Washington train bridge open for Michael this year when he goes for the kilo. :D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

You know there have been a few problems with the law and guys blowing thru that thing, right? funny story.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Reggie was one of the first boats up when they had the bridge open.Mike was 15th i think when the bridge was closed.I am not taking sides but as you say it should be done in the same conditions this time.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Personally, I think it should be open ended and the people attempting to break the record should say "when". Do it on a certified GPS, same high units. Do it in a mile or 5. Who cares. Fastest is Fastest. I see the #'s as 177, not 171. My .02.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Gellner ???

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

How many ponies were the Racecrafters @ the last attemp,, somewhere around 1,800 ??? I would think 2,000's should do it..

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

They made 0 HP from what I hear... :D:D:D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Thats a lie!!!! The starter motors are good for about 5hp each :)

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

More, please.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Maybe everyone should call Rod at Racecrafters.

563-590-7223

He states that there were three (3) engines there and none of them had a mechanical problem and they never used the spare engine that was in the truck as the contract stated.

There is two sides to the story but Tsciggfrie says the boat didn't perform due to the boat not the engines.

Time to substantiate facts not rumors.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Just when I think JCPERF found the perfect avatar he steps up to the plate and once again surpasses the previous one :D :evilb:

Keep up the good work ;) :D

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

The boat's been performing for a while. Before and after that, I have done a couple Poker Run with XxX present.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

But, XXX is not the boat that they brought to NC.

I posted the phone #, use it and report back.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

I'm sure Mr. Fiore called.

Re: Going fast in "V" in Rhode Island
 

Bob Russel's boat was the one they used, which has been around since the early part of last summer. I guess we will all have to wait and see what happens!
