Chris, just curious, where did you come up with "Spiderman" Are you still affiliated with Skater?
He seems to advertise Skater a lot and supposedly has somone that wants to buy Gus's SLW388. |
No affiliation......Just a pilot now......I have a great deal of respect for Pete, the company and emploee's
SPIDERMAN....Well.. it was the greatest project Pete came up with for a new model ! Incase people do not know spiderman ran so fast when racing (117mph) that the boat was accessed an additional 700#'s and still ran 117mph............go figure......??? Where did Cavanti53 come from..........just wondering ? |
As long as I can remember Spiderman has always added beneficial input to the threads he participated in.
Never seemed to me to be a one sided, or blinded fan boy who drinks the Hi C. I have no idea who he is other than from what I read in his posts. p.s. I am a lifetime martial artist, I have competed alot and the cross choke is my favorite finishing technique. This is what brought me to XChoke. 3 = my lucky # |
If a 3 way !.......horsepower ? , no cabin & open ?
What do you guy's think is EVEN TO EVEN ?

If memory serves me right it was running 117mph and i can't remember if they were limited by gear ratio to run faster. I am pretty sure they had gotten 700# weight penalty to create parity in the class and it still ran 117mph.
It seems to me you could drop a complete engine package (1000#plus)....add a 700 hp or more merc package and have a 399 skater vee that would run 100mph maybe more. The advantages i see would be fuel cost, a better center of gravity, savings on the cost of one less engine package and the priceless look going around someone's twin engine vee. The disadvantage of docking in the wind....i have seen plenty of twin engine vee's have issues docking in the wind, simple solution....bow thruster... It make the worst of us look good, when docking. I know pete has a vee up their that could be converted into that project, just don't tell him i sent ya. I might get a phone call. |

So what would happen if NT built a 43 single out of tinfoil?

Hatter........ Play nice !

No bias either way here, just wondering and fact checking. If the race 399 ran 117 with 525's, why does the one that LOTO shootout with big power only run in the 130's (if I remember correctly).
|
I seem to recall reading something to the effect that there were significant handling issues at or around that speed. Regardless, that's still moving!

It's an interesting idea, except the docking/manuvering issues. If the hull is that efficient, it seems like a perfect candidate for Illmors, doesn't require the torque a big heavy hull does, and can take advantage of the extra rpm's.
In reply to above, not saying 130's in a vee hull isn't very impressive, just looking at the power to power speeds. |
