Prostreeter...I'll make my offer again! Maybe I need to raise the stakes???? Howabout 10 or 20K???? or how about for every MPH under 88 she don't GPS 88mph I'll give ya 5K? Everey MPH over 88MPH you give me 5K? I gotta admit ya really got me laughin here! I will make the stipulation the wager takes place down here as my boat is set up for here...Lake Hartwell, Ga. As a side note...I'm not even maxing out my moter...it's built for more than 6,000 RPM's....9LB pulley would probably put it in the 700 Horse range with the way my motor's built. I do know from my friend that prop blowout does become an issue on Pachanga's approaching triple digits. So who knows what would happen if I dropped my pitch a bit to see the extra horses I got get!

Oh,ok tough guy.And I'm supposed to trust your honesty.What gets me here dude you own a whale....plain and simple.Why do you post in the Scarab forum?You come over here busting a line of great performance boats and expect to make friends.I would have said your from Arkansas.

I dont think you'll live to honor your bet.If you do get that big over grown shamo in the 80's you probably wont live to tell us about it.That hull you have is no way designed,engieneered or capable of the speeds your talking about,but you'll die trying.

Another thing,why are you dumping so much" stupid "money in that boat when all is said and done it's worth 10.000.00.I dont get it.

I've also read some of your other posts where your bashing scarabs.What wrong,has a scarab or two waxed your ass.The better bet would be my boat against your boat but we both know that will never happen.


Do us all a favor and hang out in the sea ray area!

Damn Dude! You obviously don't know what a Pachanga is! They are basically the same type overall design as a Scarab! Mini Cigarette if ya wanna call em that! I've waxed a few Python's! Don't know about Scarab's though. I have no doubt what so ever that my boat is over powered for what it is. This all started because I said the Wellcraft's I tested were rattle traps...And Ya know WHAT! They Were! I was disappointed in my boat because the Procharger causes a High pitched whine in my cabin door when ya wind her up! But if I leave the water and reenter it is solid as a ROCK! No Crash Bam Hope Ya can do it again Mam! That was my experiences with Wellcraft...including a couple a Scarab's I experienced.I spent the better part of a year looking for a boat...all brands considered! My Pachanga was the 1st used boat (after a year of searching)I found that I felt was really a bargain...and still feel that way(Paid close to 16K) I also looked at alotta Scarabs that were basically rotted pieces a sh*t people were hoping someone would buy that were not even seaworthy!

My boat against your boat is not the issue! Your saying mine or no other will do what I say mine will! I am definitely not trying to make enemies here. I just support what I believe to be true. BTW my boat is no longer forsale!! My wife has given into pressure from friends! Gonna rent a house on the lake for a week in Sept. and a few outings before planned! Wow what a little pressure from friends can do!

I hope we can be friends...but if you wanna waste your money because you don't think my 3500lb whale can't do more than 88....I will prove it!

Potentially a 90 grand loss, that kind of cash reserve should have you in more than a mid eighties sea ray................................

Couldn't have said it better myself Tim.

Maybe I should cut him some slack.This is obviously his first boat.Non performance boat I might add.
He has no external steering,no trim tabs or thru hull yet he's running with the big boys.Two things will happen if he does try to go that fast.A Sea Ray is not a performance boat and at his desired speed the boat will self destruct and he'll get killed.Good luck with that.

I'm done arguing with the guy.If I ignore him perhaps he'll go away and bug others in the Fouaintin,outerlimits,Adrenaline,etc forums.
