This is the Beretta that I told about on the first page, that now runs 79.6 GPS with 500 ponies.
Rex, you right about that slippery water up there. I wonder if there's any way to package it and bring it down here and cut our water some with it. Kinda like mixin' race gas with the cheap stuff. Seems like somebody up there was claimin' about 130 with a VHT with a stock 260 on it a while back. That musta had some of that slick water too.
I'm wonderin' if them satalites got all them lattitudes and logitudes all crossed up in Yankeeland and got them GPS's all in an uproar.
they have this thing called an intercooler keeps the pistons at bay with pump gas,
There are a lot of guys from the southern part of New Yawk State that have very very very fast boats but they tend to be the guys that never show on game day. Especially the Superboat and Progression crowd. I'd eat my words if someone with a 22 of either put up numbers higher than 85 with a 300. As far as the baby blue V running over 100...now that's funny. What does it have 1200 hp?

An intercooler with a 502 mpi and it's 8.6:1 compression ratio will not help at 10psi. Unless that motor has had the compression dropped to 7:1 ish, it will need a lot of octane to run, in all fairness we have no idea what has been done to the motor with the information given.
Slippery Yankee water.......Rex your killin' me. Its not the slippery water.....its the atmosphere, Up here the air is so thick motas' make twice as much powa'. Hell up here OMC (BMC, or maybe HMC not shure where they are goin') V-8's make 525 hp (notice Raceman as time goes no the Legendary V-8 keeps on makin' mo Powa') . You take that boost pressure of those stuffed motas' and you suddenly get phonimal ponnies.
Hey Fly, there is one being assembled as we speek, with a new 300X, I will see it run on may 29th............
As far as all you guys making fun of the numbers, I know you are all at the very least skeptical, but I have myself run in the park of these speeds. Now some of these speeds are 10mph faster than anything I have ever seen, that doesn't make it impossible, but hard to swallow.
But consider that, salt is faster, cold/water makes a 3mph difference for me.
but hell, if my Challenger 21 with a 2.5 goes 75mph I will be thrilled (read suprised)

besides, if you moved up here you would realize, tuners, and land and sea products work real good. :)
It will be the wrong prop wrong gearcase wrong engine height and soon as those issues are resolved 10 mph will be picked up. Since I started off being a pecherhead today I'll continue on and throw the New "advanced" Hydrostreams into this mix. All the extra Rinker ammenities that have been thrown into those boats couldn't be compenasated for with any marvel of hydrodynamics.

Until my Land and Sea dual plg heads come in. They should be good for about 10 mph and get me up to 90. They were on my Suzuki and you could really feel the power. Too bad the boat was waterlogged when I bought it. It was too much for my high strung Special Addition dual plug Suzy. Man I miss her.
The blue Progression 22 was owned by a very good friend of mine. That boat consistently ran 99 mph, and touched on 101 a few times. This was all on GPS. I know a GPS can be wrong, but every time? Ask the few people that know this boat and they will back up this claim. A Progression is not a Superboat, so Superboat speeds should not be compared to judge the plausibility of the Progression’s speed. Just like I wouldn’t compare an Allison to a Hydrostream. They are both V-bottoms, but that’s it.
Most people just don’t realize that the Progression is made as a race boat – a true race boat, not a consumer boat “dressed” as a race boat. They all have blueprinted bottoms (out of the molds) and are very light. As for the speed claims on the other boats, they are accurate as well. I don’t drink, take drugs, or party too hard, and I am usually the first person to question a top speed number. It is what it is….

Bring it to the Romp. Dinner on me for any Progression with a single outboard that runs 100. I even give a 3 mph altitude and fresh water handicap. I don't even care what's been done to the motor...no pop though...my boat will go 100 on the pop hehe. If it will do 100 I'd even considewr buying one. You can't tell me how strong and well built a boat is for offshore racing and then tell me it's 15 to 20 mph faster than anything like it.
David
Sure I can... lol
Progression Construction
add to that, blueprinted out of the mold......they are straight, but not blueprinted.
You might want look at the bottom of the progression....it is awful close to the challenger, I know it is not a spash, but it has some striking similarities........and I have heard of a 100 Superboat, in your area.
