I could have sworn that Ballistic was a cat, too.

both 43 cats

danger zone is a 43 cat
ballistic is a 47 cat

Although the cats are extremely impressive, the point of this thread was to verify the fastest Nor-Tech V bottom - which Warbird III/V was most certainly. So, Warbird James is the winner of this thread with over 140mph reached in his boat. And let's not forget that this record was set back in 99-2000, nearly 7 yrs. ago. Congrats James - stop on by Iguana's some time to claim your winners Golden Margaritas!!!!!
All the best to everyone,
Matt

No guarantees on topping WB but have a turbine 50V in the works right now.
James get that margarita while you can. No offense but hope to set a new mark.

nor- tech on dusseldorf displayed a turbine power v hull with underwater exhaust.

That's probly the one Terry was talking about. Silver boat right? How fast did they say it was?

yes its a silver one , they say its doing 125

Well that's not as fast as Haggin's 51OL with the same power(135), but I suspect the Nor-Tech is quite a bit heavier. And if you're going to run the ocean(not many lakes are large enough for a 125mph 50' V bottom), weight is a plus not a minus.
