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?

Here is a true "green" (stock) motor & boat that is faster:

If we're talking green motors with mods like the SRV with DBR motor, Monty's Etec STV and Ray Leach's Etec STV are way faster at mid-high 120's.

Hopefully he had some kind if insurance...

So i guess your the fastest.. must feel pretty good.. i wish i was in this category.. maybe one day simon will figure out the HPDI..lol

Proof can be had at the Parker 336. The Nordic guys will have a few different boats out and running. It is usually fairly fast water, but by no means flat. Bring out the Tuff, Progression, etc. and race in a real race. Motors will be teched to keep everyone honest.

So much for Mercury`s warrenty. I used to want one of these motors. Not now.
