Sounds like you could be running in the 70's too. :eek:

Another genius with a boat rated for 140 hp is gonna come on here and talk trash because his goes 95 with double the amount of HP the boat was designed for. Well guys like you run the advantage of having zero brains which benefits you in a big way. No sense of danger (which you try and pass off as balls) and no need to work on your set up... You can just copy the idiots that went beforew you.:p
CHILL OUT, Fly!!! It was a joke. My point (jokingly) was, if you don't know how fast you're going, WHO DOES? We've been through this before. You're awfully thinned skinned for a professional. You really need to loose the chunk on your shoulder, son.

Did you see the :p at the end of my post....I am playing just as you are. I can't throw a little spice in it?
Hello. I see it now.

PS - Aren't YOU over-powered with a 260? :p

Boat's 20 feet or atleast 20 ft. I was chatting with Bulletboy last week and he has a 20 and I swear I had about 2 feet on him.
.....ALL Allisons (made today) are over 20 feet and have no Coast Guard rating. Please think about this while composing your future rants about getting your tail kicked by an over-powered tooth-pick. :D

is longer than mine. The bullet is just over 20' with 12" of setback and Fly's looks to be 2' longer

When i switch to the et lighting i should go 95 to 98 by myself
Wow I am impressed, you gained over 8 mph just going from the 250 to the 300x :cool:
What pitch trophy and did you change anything else with your setup?

for the progression to do 80 with the 250 i had to have 10 gal of fuel and just me in the boat. I was have a 25 trophy but i have the motor up too high for the prop. The trophy it not getting enough bite. I am getting my hand on a et to try tomorrow, so i will post some new #'s.

That's a 70 to 80 hp gain there. There is no reason he shouldn't see 12-15 mph gain.

I was just thinking the 250 must be pretty strong considering Herb's numbers...
So progression22, how high were you running you motor? What RPMS, look forward to hearing how the ET works :cool:

I'm still trying to get my mind around this quote;
"The only way your going to beat me...STV"
Progression 22,
I don't know how serious you were about this statement but I do hope that you realize how rediculous it is. To imply that the only thing that will beat your "95-98" mph boat is a STV is just mis-informed. Look at boats like Allison, Bullet, Eliminator, Liberator etc...these boats can run over 100 consistently with much less than a 300X. My GrandSport is generally considered the MOST limited of all of the A-Boats in regards to speed and I can run faster than "98" with a conservative drag set up in 100 degree heat. As matter of fact there should be a bunch of hydrostreams up there in your neck of the woods that will top that.
