150 Mph. That's Movin On!

thanks for the link

to bad they didnt have video of it at speed. looked like they had no intentions of anything other than displacement speeds, what a shame, all fixed up and no courage.

[mr fun]

not buyin it. 150 kilometers perhaps, but at 150 mph i belive those rivits would pop with 1 nice smack of a good wave. second the bottom looks very flatish, north sea??? come on, that is some of the most feared water by profesional mariners on earth, second only to cape horn. i belive the ruuskies are just tryin to salvage a buck out of a 50's contraption. fun out :cool:

[boatless]

I could be wrong, but I believe the sign on the boat stated 150 KMH. Not MPH

[Raceman]

It's been at the Atlanta Boatshow on display the last 2 years in a row. They've got these big speed claims, but have never operated it above idle speed. (or at least they hadn't last year, I didn't pay attention to it this time) I think the makin' a fast buck off a 50's contraption is a pretty good description.

I'm not buying it either. The Vendneyev MP14(PF) is a 360/400/450 horse engine depending on the level of supercharging. This is a very popular engine in aviation and is on current high performance aerobatic planes that weigh 1200 lbs. They are only good for 150 to 200 mph pushing a tiny airplane with relatively little drag and a carbon fiber wing.

that and the fact that a superlight (less than 1000lbs ready to go) airboat with nitrous and a highly modded lycoming has a hard time breaking 110... Airboater could shed some more light on this.

"sorry comrad" lmao

[Vicious]

It sure looks like a death trap to me! :eek:

[lilabner]

Simple..if you believe it goes 150 mph, send me $20.00...nuff said...

[boatermike]

what if it really was intended for flight

[mr fun]

guess they missed the boat, tee hee. fun out

[Airboater]

Those boys must be dreaming 150 mph with a radiatal,This one here in supercharged injected and a 2 stage nos system putting out 650hp +or- at 650lbs complete boat and can run 118 in 400 ft if you can keep in in the water.

It's a hoax. The Russians would never spend that kind of money on saving a human life in the first place.

Second, have a look at where the North Sea actually is on the map below. There is no way a pair of Russians would run around there in a lake boat picking up pilots.

Airboater,

Is that a 540 lycoming? What compression, cam etc are you using?

Bill

[Airboater]

Sky its a factory super charged 540 lycoming, all the internals have been re ground and a lot of different parts to increase the compression without blowing the cylinders off with the boost and nos.Heres a better view :D

[skywagon]

:D :D :D It never ceases to amaze me how a little hot rodding will wake these engines up. Cool. :)
