Speed
 

I had 3 engs on the flour when i bought the boat,one 540 mech cam in the 700 range,one new 540 hyd cam in the 6 to 650 range and a 509 low comp. we used for practice then i still had the 502 in the Mag we had raced with in P5 the last year.I put the big 540 in an took it out for the first run by myself to see what it would do. The damn thing was unreal and i had gotten used to not taking my eyes off the water after what had happend with Vixen in 01 ,the only thing i was sure of was the tack reading that was past 7000rpm.When shut it down i hit the recall on the gps an i had 92mph well that started a new problem it was too fast for P4.But thats a whole another ,If i had just changed them darn seats it might still be racing,it was one great boat.

Daredevil: you got the positive energy or something.:D

Mel: I had offered Ken $15K for it in November (2004 I think)while at the KW worlds and he agreed. I should have given him the money right away, but I figured there was no hurry and was out of the country for the following 3 weeks. When I got back I was told that it was sold to someone else..oh well.
That boat has had a lot of owners and so many different configurations!
:boat:

georges,I had no idea anyone else was dealing on the boat,Ken didn't say anything and Will didn't either.If I did I would have waulked away.I got the feeling Will wanted the boat sold an out of his yard,but i could be wrong on that.I think the boat would still make a great P4 boat.When I changed to the hyd.cam 540 she made a nice solid 81 mph without killing the eng.on rpms.When Dave ran P5 in 05 I loaned him my 502 out of Vixen to keep him in the 70mph range.

No problem. So I gather that you sold the boat to this Andy's towing guy?

No,like i said,i sold it to Dave Howard on Jan 1 05 as agreed to when i bought it in Dec of 03.Dave sold it to Andy last spring.

I'm still working on getting the specs out to ya...left Friday at 4am to head to AC/OPA Awards. got in at 3am last night and bet I didn't get more than 8 hours sleep all weekend! :ernaehrung004:


This boat is taking top priority and really want to get it knocked out as the next project has already arrived. Going to clean up the rigging, install motor/drive and update the cabin. The buyer will get to choose whether to add a blower scoop and rear seat configuration. I'm sure if I add the scoop the buyer won't like it or vice versa so I'm just leaving it unfinished until a buyer is found.
