First- A new 42 Lightning w/ 525's is good for about 82-84
Second - JC - That's what I am saying. Why wouldn't the runs be run in saltwater?? In theory, the 177 pass last August could have been 179-182 (??).

I thought it cost 30k to run at Reggie's gig last fall?

I would like to see them run with stock power as well. The March Powerboat has the Outerlimits 39 Quattro with 525's Hull weight of est 8800 pounds that had a radar speed of 96.9. Who wants to build a motor the runs for a hour and goes 200MPH

Sign4boat,
Do you know when it is supposed to take place? Sat am? I would like to join you. Probably couldn't stay the night though. I would take my boat, but my engines are out. I'm sure some others from up here would like to as well... I'm not aware of anyway to get to where they are going to make the run other than by boat, are you?

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
3-4 MPH in salt based on prop bite alone? 'Cause there sure as hell isn't any hull in (on?) the water at those speeds. You would think it would be a trade off at those speeds if it is the case...dregging skegs through denser water?
Just what they need, a surface more like concrete when the innevitable happens.
