whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Fountain has the fastest twin engine V Hull ( or is it Outerlimits?? ) . Does anybody know what the fastest single is ? I mean offshore boats, not Hydros.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

those two are always fighting for a 1/10 of a MPH. Not to sure about a single V ??????

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Someone has to know ??

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

I'm pretty sure that Crazy George has crack 120mph in his 18' Donzi... :eek:
He routinely runs 110-115 when his motor is at 10lbs boost and 870HP. I also know that he caries the pulley to bump it to 15lbs boost and over 1000HP... :eek:
I have never read or heard of a faster single engine V bottom than his... :cool:

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Pat,
We're talkin Ofshore boats here. Not 18' Donzi's. Hell my buddy's 21' Allison does 125mph.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

If I'm not mistaken, there was a 30' Tempest that was fitted with a 1200hp. Did 125mph years back.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Hey Rick,
I saw George smoke past Jcap in 3-4ft waves at 90+mph, no joke, ask Jim. Try that in an Allison... :p
OK 125mph is faster than the 121 I believe George has posted, but I'd say his boat is a "Off-Shore" boat... :cool:

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Lets put it this way. 30' and over. ;)

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

30' and over don't leave anything but one boat mfg. :drink:

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Pat an 18' donzi in 3' waves ??????

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Yep, an 18' Donzi can do it so long as your back can take it. I ran mine across the Sound and out to Block many times... :D
I had one, Krack had one, and I think Oh-zone had one. Truely one of the all time clasics... :drink:
Crazy George takes it to a whole other level though, I know you would not catch me in his boat... :eek:

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Would the APBA keep records like that.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

The boyz over at MRD have put together some new and crazy activators . I think the orange one ran 115. I havent heard of anything faster lately.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Herb from Intimidator Boats has a 21 (same exact boat as a 21 superboat he builds it from the Shadow molds) runs 106mph + with a single 300 merc outboard... I'm hopin mmy 21 Superboat should run close to 100mph when im done with it and be setup for rough water :drink:

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Pat I would never knock a Donzi, ever. But I much question ANY 18' boat in 3'-4' waves passing a 24' Superboat let alone a Y2K.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

I hear you Gary, you have to have seen it to believe it. George is the sickest boat driver I have ever met.
During Superfest 2004, we ran from Greenport over to Sag Harbor in 3ft waves with a lot of boat wakes thrown in.
(2) 24' Supers, (3) 30' Y2Ks, (3) 29' Fountains, and Crazy George, ran just about wide open the whole way. George went by ALL of us shooting a 100' rooster tail. Jcap said to me, "I saw 88 on my speedo when he pasted me."
Lets just say that when we got to Sag, the fellow that was riding with George, jump in the water and swam over to Sean Dutra's boat.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Pat I would never doubt you. But I know one thing for sure I know that is downright DANGEROUS............AND WHY ???? There is a point when a hull execceds its limits, and that boat was over at 50 mph at best in that water. Now on a lake with not even a ripple sure. Just my 2 cents.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Dangerous! ABSOLUTELY! :eek:
Why? Maybe because it's DANGEROUS?
I will say that the other times I have run with George, he has been solo. Also, he wears a helmet, off-shore life vest, and believe it or not, I think a parachute... :eek:

So back to the question, What is the fastest "off-shore" V bottom?
Should we post in the general discussion?

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

The Activator Boys Are Putting Some Big JC Power In One Of The New 29s Over The Winter I Am Building A New 29 Kryptonite With A 632 CI 800 Plus With A 4 Barrel ITS Box Should Be Interesting

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Hey Lightspeed,
A few years back, I met Holden Cramer. He had a 600cube 750+HP in a 27' Kryp. He told me that he had cracked 100mph.
Then I believe he sold that engine and installed a 500 so as to be a bit more family friendly.
Does he still have his boat?

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Pat I Dont Know Him ???

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Oh, I thought you would. He is good friends with the owner of Kryptonite, Kurt or Kirk. I forget his name only met him once with Peconic (Bertel) the crazy German guy...

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

I wish I could tell ya. I think Rusty is storing my boat for the winter.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Already ?? :(

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

I thought you boated all year ???

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

I think the storage commment wsa sarcastic...

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

What do you think Holden took the motor out of ? yes you guessed it a 28 panter. White with triple purple bolsters, dont know how that ran. Lightspeeds boat will be for sale if I know him. He doesnt keep thing too long.

Re: whats the fastest single engine offshore V Hull??
 

Zup,
I think Holden told me that he had a blower on his 600cube when it was in his 28' Pantera and that it never ran over 80. His opinion of the 28 Pantera was that it was better with two engines.
The 27/29 Kryptonite his a whole different animal; he told me that it road more like a cat than a true deep V bottom...
