[Jamescole]

Bottom line here is i have been on the phone with Kenny all morning trying to figure out what the fastest "Green" powered Single outboard boat is..... and searching S&F.... all the other sites.... we cant figure it out,

Motor that Fit in this field:
Etec
Merc XS
Yamaha HPDI



Ken's (Kcraft) Setup:



2008 21' SRV
300 DBR'd Merc XS
Sporty lower
114 MPH @ 6200 RPM





IS anyone out there Faster?

[Kcraft]

Any one ? … Seriously

[Ira Tindale]

merc of course

[Jamescole]

the xs' are magic.... it just keeps on going faster...

[Michael J Giesler]

Any green motor that does 100 or better is bad a$$ in my book the best part is after doing it they can just cruise and get killer mpg

Wow! Well done. I'd say you have the field covered.

Tunnels on the other hand......., I think Monty and Barsh have both been a buck 30 in their E-Tec powered River Rockets.

That SRV 15" DBR setup is one of may all time favorite boats. Looks as good as it runs, great job!

According to a picture text from Gordon a couple weeks ago he is very very close but hasnt busted 30 yet.

Agreed. Meant to add that.
That boat is one of few that defines "Hi Perf Vee Bottom".

Thats a great setup Kcraft has got. Nice work

Thanks Boys… Was not trying to cover the field, was just trying to get James Cole #'s off my GPS recall. She has more in her but I will leave it at 114 mph until someone matches it or beats it.

Paul @ TOP GUN CANADA sold me a light Triad Rocket, that I have not finished paying for yet… he also has a 3L 12' mid +++ Could get interesting.

A buddy at River Ranch last year went 111mph in a 19 STV Vbottom with a stock 300xs. No motor mods. 20" mid. Stock 36bravo. He's getting ready to rig a v21 triad, so watch out lol.

These #'s are amazing.

When I was neck deep into my 3.3 project I thought I saw the writing on the wall w/the green motors being the future.
You know, anything modded/old school drops drastically in value/popularity.
Never saw this coming though.

Was one thing to consider writing a check for a new 280 or 300X but now a motor requiring 90% less maintenance, 90% better on fuel, oil injected, quiet, idles at 500 R's, shifts like a fishing boat.........., amazing stuff guys.

I drove Kcraft's boat.. .Its a monster. It takes no time at all to get over 100mph.

We are also at a bit of elevation with absolutely no currents.
