Throw on a new style Herring prop and the damn thing is STILL faster than the 2000 hp "World's fastest Vee Bottom" (s).

I remember that article in Powerboat. I remember thinking it was strange to see that much negative trim at those speeds.
What an achievment. Talk about putting your life on the line for a record.

Probably would have broke 200 had it trimmed it just a bit...

#2 The boat certainly could run over 200 today.....with lighter construction....a little more length ......newer, better props and the two stroke development currently available. But, it has no "bling".....nor does it define wretched excess. Plus....it takes talent...... not money....... to drive it.
Funny thing though........two guys who could drive it....Benny Robinson...and Michael Seebold....... are currently driving Reggies Super Vee.....
