Congratz ,that boat is Badd Azz :ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

That's a great looking crew(except for the dudes). :grinser010:

just a little blast from 120 to 160mph

There is no way that was 160

and you know that how?? ... but what do i know ive only been in the 180 just a few times :rolleyes: but im sure you have been much faster.

I agree. It looks alot more like 158.8 mph to me. :D

I think you are both totally wrong, I mean come on, that is clearly 158.89mph!! :ernaehrung004:

i think he just sped up the video.. cats arent that fast. You'd need a fountain to reach those speeds..:food-smiley-007:

If you look closely in that video , you can see the reflection of the cat killer blowing by Golddigger like she was tied to the dock.

Yea cat killer had already turned around about 40 miles before this part of the video.. this was in Charlotte harbor

nice vid james ... tell jason he doesnt have to shave his head for aerodynamics when hes in a canopy boat.

Anybody know the details on the engines?

Nice VID James,thnx for sharing..U need to dial in the SKATER when i get the motors & drives back :ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

yes they are 1550 sterling's detuned when this video is taken to less than 1300hp....598 Ci with the new 8.3 Whipple supercharger.

No more Eickert?

No more KE. I think he sold his bizz to someone in the Chicago area or something like that.

That's exactly what I meant, give or take a tenth

No more KE? I talked to him at the shootout and he was with Onken racing? or is that done and over with as well?

thats who owns KE Kustom Engines now... at the time the motors were to get redone Keith was in the middle of moving hence sterling filled in

KE is with Onken Racing located in Easton, IL. Keith's number is 217-415-9568. Spoke with him today. He actually has a very interesting V-16 project going.

I see Golddigger got put in the classifieds. What happened to the rig and the tilt trailer? that semi was badass

Nice website James :ernaehrung004:

James do you have a new phone # for Kieth ????? the # on the site is disconnected .:ernaehrung004:

Keith's number is 217-415-9568

thnx BIG Daddy :ernaehrung004:

So just out of curosity which is faster golddigger or Pure Platinum?? They both are incredible boats !!

well we have never strung out digger.. its ran in the 170's

the skater has been in the low 180's but its like comparing apples to oranges their two different animals.

Scarabj would you say that the Skater has a better ride?

You can not really compare shaft/rudder boats with #6 boats its two completely different feels... I will say that Digger is unbelievable quiet inside and handles like most rudder boats like its on rails.. but its big and eats up big water.... the skater feels much more like a sports car I'm sure if the outerlimits was 12ft shorter and a foot narrower it would feel more agile..
