griff,
do you talk to yourself all day long? People looking for information dont want to listen to stupid people with opinions but no real intelligence.

Your attempt at trying to make someone seem dumb by saying “single engine boats weren't designed to do 100mph” but then turn right around and correct yourself makes you a complete moron.

pluss single engine v hauls have been doing over 100 for YEARS. Back when racers had balls there were open class, hauls doing over 100 mph. Someone decided it was to scary do to injuries in that class and terminated it.

But that has never stopped people who cant afford 2 or more engines from doing well over 100mph.

in fact my 850 horsepower 1990 Scarab 26CV with a surface drive will do 100 mph right now!!

And with a little seasoning, and the ability to manage your risk in short sprints, 100 MPH in a 26 foot single engine boat is fine!!!

please dont respond just to read your own posts or just to be negative to someone!!

Did you read the post? If your sole purpose on this site is to try and make boaters slow down, you’d be better of deAd.

There is a reason the term speed boat exists. Accidents happen, high risk is unfortunately part of trill seeking.

maybe you should try a sailing boat form!!

You drag up an 8 year old thread to make your only 2 itchy douche canoe posts?

Thank you for your positive contribution to the forum. Please take your midol and enjoy your stay.

The Aussie ski racers take their trailers to another level too.

Off the hook.

The guys at Kunkle marine in Ohio have been running triple digits for years and years with single engine Checkmate Convincors. Same with Sam at Action Marine in Florida.
