Heat Alert 106 mph!!!!
 

There was some unexpected excitement yesterday at the Nashville Color Cruise. Jerry Sabatino ran a phat 106 mph! I know he iis too modest to post but Jerry and the friends that work with he and Peg on their Heat deserve recognition. Impressive in anyone's book.

Very nice!!! Congrats Jeryy!

Got any pics/vids? My boating season is now over so I am living vicariously through all of you :)

has me beat by 5 mph whats he running????

Way to go Jerry...........

Steve

We witnessed the acceleration and speed of Jerry's boat first hand at the Nashville Poker Run, boat flat out flys.

Verrry nice. Haulin' the mail.
Boat looks -- and sounds fantastic.
Thanks for posting.

nice
 

hey chris the boat looks great seems to handle very well for a open bow on calm water you must of found the sweet spot yours rides so flat compared to mine. after looking at your video i wish i had one to share we were going to go sat but i dont have the new throttle and shifter in yet waiting for the bezzel. still running pump gas here too never thought i would be makeing this much horsepower on everyday gas at the pump. keep up the good work i'll try to upload some pics of the motor setup i'm running now. dont know whats on plan for next year maybe looking for 110mph cant stop thinking about that yellow heat that never ran at the regata the year you were here.

Finally got somewhere with enough bandwidth to watch the movies lol. She sounds great, and looks great as well!

I may have to talk the wife into a Whipple before long lol. Gonna start with the "normal" Heat mods (spacer, prop, etc.) and see where that gets me for now.

Jerry, looking forward to seeing some engine pics for sure. :)

Water conditions look great ! Man i wish i was there!

Great Vid! Boats looked nice !!:drink:

Good stuff,looks like lake erie this time of year,without the waves lol.

My boat is usually 2-3 mph faster on 1ft chop.
Also of note is that my SCX upper cost me about 2 mph...but it doesnt break.

Engine shot:

mmmm, thanks...now my "wimpy" little 500EFI isnt nearly as cool lol.

Wow Congratulations! I would love to see a video of how it rides in the water at that speed. Very Impressive though.

Man this NW weather sucks...
