Very nice run

Hauling the mail!

Nice video, beautiful area to run!

[Rayzor]

That 28SS of yours sure seems to like those 400Rs! Looks like you might be the first one to crack 130 Paul. :cheers:

[Trimmed Out15]

Beautiful boat, very impressive numbers. How fast was it with the twin 300xs?

You are correct Dale, the boat loves those engines. Time will tell on the top end numbers. No promises or commitments.

It ran 100 mph any day. I saw a 106.

Wow def worth doing the upgrade. Im sure those props helped a lot too. Best of luck on 130, keep us updated

Now that is was real a nice run. It looked like it had real good manners. Who would have guessed, it was possible to run 126 in a productions boat with full interior. Nice work.

Now go get a foot throttle and get both hands on the wheel.

[Bullhead Bully]

Thank you. Been there done that. I Really like the hand throttle better.

Perfect.......................:thumbsup: :eek:

Boy these engines would match your boat perfectly. :D

These 400r's can sure haul the mail!

Doug has a 32 that is very very close to hitting 130 with 400 motors. My guess is a couple prop tweaks and its done.

Too funny. They match your boat perfectly LOL have you ran them yet? They are great engines. Worked perfectly for me

Haha. Just got em hung last week. Working on rigging and interior now. Will be ready for the spring. I may do some graphics on the boat to match the cowls...Your 28ss is badazz!

That doesn't surprise me at all Joe, those 32DWs are super fast with outboards. Is the one you're talking about enclosed or open cockpit?

[JPEROG]

There are one of each the enclosed four seater (with air conditioning) so its not race boat weight is on the edge and there is an open cockpit that is only 3 or so off. I think you should be talking to Caldwell and grab a set of those 600s to spin a pair of 35s at 8k. That would lay down the law for outboards.

Very impressive! Great looking boat don't know if i ever seen one before. That tunnel tab must help carry the extra weight nice.

[Double Rigged]

122/124 for DW 32's is not close to 130mph? Other than Darren's boat I have yet to see real video data underway with GPS/RPM etc of any of these 120+mph DW's. The blue one down here ran 119mph with JT. I agree they are fast but 130mph is a huge number for 400r's IMO. A 28 could do it.
Tyson posted the video of the 318 skater they way it should be. Lot's of talk of big numbers but short on actual facts.
I sure hope all these fast boats other than Skaters show up at LOTO's to put this to bed once and for all!!!! LOL.
There were NO 400r boats at the shoot out this year? Not knocking the motors just basing things on what i have experienced first hand.

Bully has all the cool sh*t. :)

Congrats on your Repower Pablo that boat is hauling the mail. Tony just hit 129 with a Mach 26 that is a screaming number.

I am betting you hit the 130MPH mark first just be careful and keep us posted.

No putting to bed anything...LOTO this year is going to 3/4 mile course for safety reasons. So the numbers need to come from other Shootout's who still keep the 1 mile format.

All that is going to do is make the big dollars ballers put more power in the boats.

[Bullhead Bully]

When are re powering yours. It's a perfect candidate.

I have run in many classes at LOTO. I can tell you it is the last quarter mile where the boat makes the numbers. In a 3/4 mile distance it is really hard to post up monster numbers


When are re powering yours. It's a perfect candidate.

Hi Pablo:

I hit 115MPH in a mile at LOTO and cruise easily at 105MPH that is plenty fast enough for me.

I can safely say I would not repower to 400R motors anytime soon. They are too heavy and the weight on the transom will completely change the attitude of the boat. Currently my boat fly's level on exit and reentry so it is balanced perfectly [CG wise]. I would not want to fly my boat with 1,400++lbs on the transom as it would not handle right. It is one thing on a smooth lake or river a whole different story on busy lakes and oceans. Plus I still have two more years of warranty.

Now if I started the build with the 400R motors we would have made some major alteration from the start.

These 400R motors with the new CNC props and the bottoms chamfered wherein they cut a nickel sized trough in the bottom of the hull in order to raise the engine higher without losing water pressure. It makes a HUGE difference and one reason these boats are now hitting monster numbers. Not to mention how much lift these 400R motors are providing from torque.

I assume on the Nordic hull your spinning in with some toe in?

[jwgmt]

Hey Bullhead, were you running up through the gorge but Topock on Saturday? That was me in Rayzor's old Cougar. That boat sure looks sweet at speed going right past us!

Yes that was me...i thought that was Dales old boat.
I was hoping you wanted to play...:thumbsup:
next time lets flag each other down and talk.

[jwgmt]

Will do, first time I had boat out, needed some seat time. Put a 100 miles on it that day, the afternoon wind chop was just right for it. The stepped hull and air pack kicks in at about 65 mph and jumps into the low 90's. Will have to raise the motors and lab the props. I only do Havasu a couple of times a year on off weekends, I think it will be a great lower river boat.
