Re: Miami Show TMP1600
Loto shootout is a very short 1 mile usually in notperfect conditions. Its not totally how much hp as it is getting on plane quickly and accelerating very fast. last year with 1200hp in our 36 nortechcould only get to 152, but boat could top end at around 165. callan set record at 203 2 years ago and 200 yards past finish line they were at 209. bacardi hit 183 last year I believe in a piston boat which was unbelievable. you have to prop the boat perfectly to optimize your speed there, we were proped wrong last year. also most of the higher speeds are produced by engines being turned up in hp anyway they can so you really cant trust what hp they say the boat has.I believe a non race boat record is in the 160 range. anything over that would be incredible. will be very interesting this year alot of big power coming. and a couple of boats that are unlike anything built to date.

Nobody,
I have the video also. We just got the software to publish it as an mpeg. Just have not had time. Will get to it as soon as possible.

It hurts when someone can do a better job, especially someone or( NOBODY) who's been in the business longer is getting the school knocked out of them when they are younger and can do a better job. I say we do a motor build off, smart ass, Ill fund it, seeing that Im TMP spokesmen and all

Re: Miami Show TMP1600
I apprieciate the compliment and I do have to agree with you. The acceleration is phenominal with 1400 hp, and that is with race fuel, (It wouldn't be like you take take something out of context.) You were offered a ride many times, free of charge, I think it would be better if you just meet me at TMP, I promise to be good spokesperson.

The boat Nor-tech brought to LOTO seems to get faster by the day.I don't believe that the boat officially timed in at 152 and when I last talked to Trond the boat had not gone anywhere close to 165.On a seperate note I think Tmp should be congratulated for all of there hard work
