Just in, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...irst-sea-trial.

Looks like we'll be seeing this one at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout at the end of the month.

I am stoked to see this boat flying bye live at LOTO.

WOW going 190 mph in a 36 skater in choppy waters by himself that takes Big Balls .. Congrats

John Tomlinson's version of "not pushing it" is different than most people's, but then he has more seat time in super-fast boats than almost anyone I can think of—and he has a ton of seat time in that boat, though with lesser power, in particular. Still, no doubt, 190 mph is bringing it.

And I just looked up my first Sterling 1700 story on speedonthewater.com. I thought I had been following this story for two years this month. I was wrong. I have been following it for three years this month.

How fast did that boat run when It was the old Bacardi Silver boat, what power did it have the last time it ran at the shoot out

According to JT, it topped 200 mph with 1,450-hp Sterlings. Not sure when and where. And no idea how fast it went the last time it appeared at the Shootout.

Thanks for keeping up w/ the progress of this project over the years Matt. Going to make for an exciting shoot out!

I love it! STERLINGS baby!

Still a rudder boat with a strut locking the sixes straight? Appears that way in top pic.

Johnny has no balls!!! quit at 190! Old age must be setting in!!

ps

It faster then I would have gone in that little Skater!
