Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

I can't believe no one has posted pics of this machine yet! This boat was the star of the show.

44 MTI Supercat. 1550's and attention to detail like nothing else at the show.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

LOVE that steering wheel!

By the way, I thought I remembered there being another Mach 5/ Speed racer cat a few months ago. Anyone know anything about it???

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

That boat was awesome. It was one of my favorites.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

That boat is pretty wild and nicely done.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

I swore that no matter how much cash I aquired I would NEVER spend stupid money on a boat.

Speed Racer changed my mind. Whats a mill or two for art like that.

Obviously the owner has big $$, he should hang it on the wall it's so damn nice.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

absolutely beautiful boat!

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Does anyone have shots of the sides?

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Kinda looks like it IS hung on the wall..... :D

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

ho-lee-crap!!!!! that thing is frik'n coool!!! :eek: :cool: :eek: :cool: wonder if they were jam'n the song from the Presidents "Mach 5". its a cool song about SpeedRacer :D



post #3 in pic one. is that a pic of the inside engine compartment? like on the side wall or somthing? just curious where that graphic is located on the boat. more pics please :cool:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

You mention Gary Montano... is that the same that used to team with Randy Hartmann??? Montano/Hartmann

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Little different angle. Twinstep you got some good shots. Must be because you had someone to hold your beer. :D :drink:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

YES......HIS CHECK BOOK IS WIDE OPEN AS YOU CAN SEE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL!

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Just for information it was rigged by Gary Stray - he's English and he and Randy Scism are well on the way to taking over the world if you have the cash that is!

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Found this from the MTI forum. I can't wait to see this thing floating. :drink:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

That is slick, very creative...thanks for posting the pics :cool:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

You would think speed racer would be trade marked, not the name but the pics etc.

Just curious how you pull something like this off ?

It's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission!?!? :D

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Awesome ride. Thanks for the Pics

200 MPH / 1550HP's

One question.

When that one blows over at 200 mph like the one in Maryland last year I wonder wich Insurance Company's performance plan will be wipped out this time? Maybe I'll be lucky and it won't be the one I use this time...

To be fair however I think this question fits more and more non-canopy boats ... and I even wonder if a canopy would help at 200 MPH.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

I spoke with Gary Stray In Key West He told me about the Boat being built. It' s more then I expected WOW :eek:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

170+ mph was the speed quoted. They even painted it on the rear. Long way from 200. :cool:

Congrats on the little one!

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Always did like Speed Racer. Wait, I AM Speed Racer! ;)
<---------------------------- :D

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

that boat was the show hands down... the longer you looked at it the more stuff you found... look at the throttles!! that stuff is sweet... plus it was painted almost in my backyard... i saw it twice on the highway back when it was getting painted, very cool... :cool:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Nice boat but hwere the hell is chim chim ? :eek:

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

I have a bunch of pix which do not do this thing justice. I'm still down here and haven't figured out how to post pixs from my PDA yet. Be back home Wednesday.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

chim chim..... :D

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

The only other Speed Racer boat that I knew of was the 28' Skater named SPEED RACER.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

The turbine cat that went over this past year on the Chesapeake was not going 200mph. :( :( RIP Guys.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

this is not gary montano's boat. the owner was at the show dressed (as was randy scism) in speed racer shirts. i forget his name, although he was very nice. he mentioned that he had in fact got permission first before doing this project. he said he had done other theme boats prior to this one and has made it a habit to get permission first.

they did an amazing job! the pictures just can't do it justice.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

W-O-W!!! This boat is awesome. I can't wait to see full spread pictures of it. jeaston...... :D

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

The one that went over on the Bay was doing about 170, was a sad day indeed. Everyone at Redeyes had to wait whenever he fired it up. Last I heard the passenger Roger, was never found:(...real sad day.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Here are few more


Rick OSG

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

Roger was found a few months later.

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

more.... :D

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

some more....

Re: Geeez! SPEEDRACER THREAD
 

It was going slower than 170 when it blew over, and it was a full canopy boat-did no good. RIP Ed and Roger :(
