Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

Haven't you ever heard of running in the mud? Or in 6" of water it would literally be surface effect.

Honestly, the boat has to have a displacement draft of at least 6" or GREATER, and to deliberately attempt to run in water that shallow is insane.

Now you can run in the mud, steer, throttle and drive. You just cannot stop.

i've been in the mud and sand before, and you start sucking it up pretty quick in a couple feet of water much less inches... :eek: :D

i don't think any sane person would run a boat like that in shallow water .... especially with props that cost as much as the ones we run today... i don't want to buy herrings or rollas anymore than i have too... :D

Hey thats my old man in the background. SeanH, were you the one taking that pic?

Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??

I was in the NY poker run only once, and Jet Set broke before it started. By no means am I taking anything away from that boat, but everybody breaks sometimes, even Jet Set

Up this way, Alex Bay, Ny we've got MYWay, a race/pleasure turbine powered 46. Last I heard over 190 w/ more to go and without using the water injection..

Extreme Xhibit is not a 190 mph boat. The fastest 32 skater in the world, King Sting, runs 173mph. I helped build the motors at performance marine. King Sting went by Xtreme Xhibit 4 different times until the Nor-tech blew a motor.

King Sting HAS twin 1300 saris racing engines. They were built by performance marine www.perfmar.com

Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

I didnt think XX was that fast either, but, apparently they've got it dialed in now. Theres no reason it shouldnt do 190 w/ over 5000hp..
