Default 290 SC with a Hemi???

Ok, who know's the scope on this boat? How fast will it run? I like the windscreen. Still deciding on the rest of the graphics.

Well it's a VR1 not an SC, and it runs 100 mph. What else do you wanna know?

I stand corrected, thanks. My only other question would be why build this particular combination?

That is a beautiful boat I got to see it in Miami at the show and at the Velocity Fun run in Sarasota.

Wasn't it built for the SEMA show last year? Some kind of affiliation with Jack Daniels whiskey.

BTW- that motor sounds awesome!

No doubt. I think I remember seeing pictures of this boat with the Jack Daniels graphics. I tried to get my wife interested since she is a fan of Jack but didn't get anywhere with that

It was hoped that there would be a promotion with Jack Daniels and that's why that color scheme was chosen, but things didn't work out. Steve is a hot rod guy and wanted to do something different. With all the hype around the Hemi these days, it seemed like a logical choice. The boat really does sound incredible and runs amazingly fast for a normally aspirated single 4 barrel.
