Bacardi hit 185 in his first run on Sunday and made several more attempts to beat it but the air was way too thick.

AMF ran the turbine boat and hit 122mph to win his class! Not bad for an 18k lb boat!

We saw a three mile per hour difference between GPS and Radar. We went through at 110 mph on gps.

Believe it or not the Play Craft owner approached the AMF team about putting a turbine on a Pontoon boat so that they could break the 100 mph barrier! Of course they are going to remove the BBQ grill from the bow on the new one!

Was funny too, on one of the pontoons we noticed that they had the front door on the bow open for more speed :D

No thats just how they feed the air to the motors! Sophisticated air intake! :evilb:

That baja is a friend of a co-worker here in Grand Rapids michigan. Bit nuts but he's having fun. Steve Morrison out
of Muskegon michigan has been building his engine.

Procharged 572 dynoed making 1069 ft. Lbs. of torque.

I was told his first run was 109mph and ran out of fuel before
he made full boost. I was told he's running again weekend
after labor day on Hardy Dam for Hot Boat weekend. He believes there may be 115 mph in it once it's all dialed in.

Time will tell, hopefully in a safe manner.
Nuckin Futs !!! :D
