I have no idea Gary. A over a year ago Rob said it was on the dyno. If it's still on there, it must need a rebuild by now. We haven't heard a word from him.

Really strange how Rob just lost interest in the boat/motor.

Hi guys, well long story short... I have had a finished dyno'd motor for awhile now and yes it is finally headed for the superboat shop.

I didn't lose interest or run out of money. I'm not really sure exactly why this is taking so long. I guess life has just been really busy for me this last year and unfortunately I just haven't had the time or energy needed to make everything happen.

I would like to thank John and Rick for being patient and yes this boat will hit the water this Spring.

Oh and the dyno sheet said 1350hp @ 5300rpm on 113octane. Its set at just under 1000hp for 91octane and I can allways put the big pulley back on if needed

Rob, Coen was all smiles after he got off the phone with you. I can't wait to see this baby. Are we doing the rigging, or is MRD?

Glad to see this build come back to life again !!! This has to be the biggest gas motor ever in a Y2K, and for sure will be well over 100 mph club !!!!! At 1000/1350 HP are you gonna put a #6 in the hull ??? Good luck, can't wait to see her run !!! Who built the motor ???

I just did the BAM Speed Calculation of the boat. I'm using H2O's Y2K. He has the new bottom, and does a constant 82. Setting in those perimeters, I get a Constant of 240.
Now using the 240 constant with 1000HP, I come up with 113. But that would be with a XR drive. We know the Konrad is around 4MPH slower. So I'm going with 109.
