388 Slingshot
 

Any Slingshot's out there with Ilmor's in 'em/what is the fastest 388 out there?

hi,

there are at least three of them built. All with Ilmor 625s and Arnesons. One in Martinique, one in Spain and my boat in Germany. They run 96 to 98mp/h depending on conditions.

PS: And there was one at LCM with Ilmor 550s

Lake Cumberland Marine has an 05 with Ilmor's, very nice looking boat in person, believe they said it would do 93-95 all day

Heiko is that last 6-8mph hard to get?

Fastest
 

The original black cloud was the fastest. Ran 142+ mph. I think that boat is still a 125+ mph boat, Sean Higgins has fastest one running around the Poker Runs scene with 111mph Slingshot.

Rob you still looking to paint your boat?

Yes can I send you a email with all the picks,details and what I want done.Please PM me your email John.Rob:drink:

Good luck with the project, Rob, can't wait to see the outcome. Going to miss our Slingshot.

Thanks Ben its going to be the same paint,Hind site I would of started with a hole new paint job,but everything will look and be new.I betting its going to slow down, the bottom is slick,not a single scratch,chip.its better than new.Prob going to be sticky,rob:drink:

I picked it up tonight,its gutted, with out any weight,engine,transom asy, drive interior, its bad tongue heavy.

I'll bet it is tongue heavy, sounds like you've got you hands full. What a great project. Keep us posted.

the last 6mph are hard to get! Up to there they run pretty straight!
