Best of luck on getting where you want to be with the boat. I will be watching and I hope to see you achive your goal. Many manufactures will be watching to see if the bar is raised once again i would bet.

If it runs that fast it will not be an everyday Top End. I think it is obtainable on a long straightaway with large wheels on it. I would think that this boat would be in the 110-115mph with 700's. I think the raceboat with staggered 525's ran just over 100mph back in the SV 525 days..

I can see 115 and that is even a great number. 125 even 120 would be outstanding. I like the looks of the boat and at 100 MPH I would be happy so I am not trying to knock this project by any means.

The Laveycraft 39, a very similar boat, ran a tick over 110 with 700s and 37" props. For the Dragon to run 120+ on stock 525s would be astounding, almost unbelievable. A cat yes I would believe. Teague has done it. A 10,000lb+ V bottom? I would have to see the video of the boat running and the GPS to believe.

MC I hope you can pull off what would be a miracle...

Re-read...He is going to be running 700's & NXT's...and I don't think he'll get close to 120...

I would not sell randy short.if he says he will get it to 125mph I will give him the benefit of a doubt.if it does ill be in line for one and put my 1200s in it. Can you say 160+

Love the glass and the top
 
Nice boat! I love the lines and the way the glass wraps around the sides.
