    ok we know who was fastest in the past but in the past year or two other than Nass and a few others anyone running over 135 this year probably? Runs like Dixons 151 and the WR OMC 171 are very rare for quite some time now. 130-140 seems to be the single outboard fastest top end these days until someone has a very very ballsy day like Dixon had.

    boat and it just shook , but in a light weight boat while on the EDGE who knows ? have a pick up boat.

    I would think if something seized up with a non-ratcheting gear case that would be the worst, the nose would lift , see ya...

    or where did the Gator or log come from. your not going to drive around it at speed.

    At 62 years young, I don't see the honor of having the fastest top speed lightweight outboard as important as making it to the next day.

    Ask Dixion if he would try to break his own record , he was lucky and he knows it. Life is to short folks

    I sent a text message to someone who at the time had just run 127mph in his STV RR. I mentioned to him I had just run 126mph in the Argo 23 & I was coming for him! His response has been burned in my memory bank ever since, he simply said " your going to make me stay in it longer" ! That person was Gordan ( Monty Racing for those who dont know ) and he and a few others are who I admire, look up to and keep me pushing for more and more! I need four mph to break 130 w/ the Twister 24 but its going to take big power, some stupidity & friends that set benchmarks. If I die trying that is ok.. I rather die living vs sitting on the bench. I love living on the ragged edge, it's a great view ��

    Know Monty well 20 some years , you know why he bought that STV, I was at his house , he showed me his 240+ HP Hayabusa / Turbo bar hopper

    Said I'm going to kill my self on this , made so much power he had snapped the chain launching , sell it get a HD relax ... , not sure what he ever bought, except the STV

    One good thing about the STV in well train hands we all know it is the safest single outboard boat made , holds the record 151mph

    You are in uncharted area searching for 130+ in that design , yes you are very experienced , but the boat you are in has never gone as fast as you have pushed it

    It might have design limits ??? I guess time will tell, but the bottom line is , Have a pick up boat , be careful with the trim .


    The beauty of the STV it fly's real well , what I mean it packs air pushes the back up making life at 130 safer than any other boat period .


    I would never go past neutral trim 1 to 2 degree tucked in is better .

    Best of luck , have a pick up boat , time is of the essence when thing go wrong.

    I'm done.

    My last top end run I never did trim it out to my usual sweet spot. I was able to hit my goal with very conservative trim and when I saw the pics it was actually slightly negative.

    I just hope that all you guys chasing these big #s in these small boats wear all the necessary safety gear - Lifeline w/ leg straps and ballistic nylon shorts, full face helmet with restraints, and some sort of neck protection. Another boat on the water with multiple people on board to help in case of an accident is just as important as well. Trust me, when you are part of rescue that brings in a fellow boat racer from a fatal accident, you realize that none of what we are doing is worth dying for. Please be safe guys!
