Default Rice Hauler for sale now?

Not sure on the 2800 HP mentioned but it sure adds to the legend of that boat!

Jupiter,

With M5s, I could easily see 1400HP per side. I'm not a fan of centrifugal blowers, as opposed to Roots or Whipple blowers, but the M5s are pretty potent.

Thanks. Brad.

I saw this boat at the shootout last year(2021) at the docks for the Thursday night PBC open house.
Didn’t Gordon work at Shogren back in the day??

Do you see the irony that you have a Procharged boat?

The one has a broken skeg.
Is it indeed different other than that?

Cheech,

No irony at all. I’ve been vocal in the past or my dissatisfaction with centrifugal blowers. I often refer to Roots and Whipples as “real superchargers.”

I mean, I’ll take the boost where I can get it, but I’d much rather it come on linearly rather than all at the top end. 🤷‍♀️

That said, this boat has the M5s. Way more output than my little M1. 😖

Thanks. Brad.

They both look to be SCX lowers with one shortened up a bit as mentioned ^^^

I know, was just giving you hell. First glance of it made me chuckle.
