Imagine racing THIS - and LOSING!

As an owner of both Supercharged I/O's and 2.5 O/B's I can say with confidence that 105 is very possible with that much hp on that hull. The XR drives are a fast drive. On a cat XR's will run 150 mph easy with no blowout. They look like Sportmasters. As for a drag race... be careful guys when you pull up next to blower boat. Once on plane a supercharged boat will run very hard in the midrange all the way to top speed. I know every boat is different I/O or O/B, just do not think all I/O's are dogs. The right hull and the right hp will be fast, be it an inboard or outboard.

gelcoat joe running his mouth again , did anyone say the 24 progression was gonna beat the stv ??
and phatboat , go weigh your boat and you will see why its not fast !!!! activator is a very heavy boat !!!!

if that hull ways 950 that says alot considering all the for mentioned 22` hulls come in close to 3000. a 22`rough water boat with a 300x doing 100 mph maybe it`s not so outragious.

I would like to see a third party test on the boat. I need more info. Prop RPM gear ratio ect. Just doesn't make any sense to me. V-kings with comparable HP have it tough running those numbers. I seriously doubt the 950 lbs too. I just don't get it.

"besides, if you moved up here you would realize, tuners, and land and sea products work real good."

Naw, not even slick water and thick air make that stuff work. That does give me a marketing idea though. With all the people that have been suckered into buying a tuner that didn't help, I wonder if there's a market for "water slickener". It could be packaged and sold as a concentrate. All I'd have to do is make some kind of outrageous increase claim like the tuner boys do and I'll bet I could sell train loads of it. Anybody up north wanna ship it down here in tankers? Me and T Rex could use our secret concentratin' formula where a five gallon bucket would treat a medium sized lake. Hell, if this stuff takes off, I might can even afford to keep buyin' Merc parts. Far as the air thickener, I ain't got that one figured out yet, but maybe I can get hold of them Blue Marvel Mystery Oil people that make so much mo power with their oil for some ideas on packagin' air.

I know there is a 2 foot difference but>>>>>>

This is such a easy thing to prove. Lets meet at Tanner, with one two, or three Progressions that run 100+. I dont even care what size. Maybe Jerry can bring his 70+ Progression (i guess his was made on a day they ran out of the light stuff). As a third un- biased opinion we can video tape and photograph the GPS. Lets here the excuses fly!!!

"I need more info. Prop RPM gear ratio ect. Just doesn't make any sense to me. "

David, there's one thing I've seen get a lot mo' sophisticated around here in the last couple of years. Most of the folks that post them big ole' speed numbers are sharp enough with the prop calculator to make their figures support the rumor if they post em. You probably ain't gonna catch no fairy tales there.

As the equipment need to run at those speeds. I mean your worked 26 trophy is only gonna run so fast. Chit I went to the pages here and after seeing a test on this page and the numbers produced I'm pretty sure Greg was just being funny this morning.

As for the big block....I'm a stong believer that big block single screw boats won't run 100 unless you completely go the bigger hammer route.

Fly that just happens to be are very own "Jerry"s boat. Blisteringly fast.

Fly,

More than 2 feet.. That's a 1988 Progression. 1992 and newer are all 100% vacuum bagged. Today's 24 Progression is 200lb lighter than that one. Also, that's a 300 on there, not a 300X.

Looks to me like the 22 may NOT be variable degree?

They all are - look at the line you drew, now look at the bottom panel and the top panel. You can see the difference, although it's only in 1 degree increments.

Greg:)

I'd sure like to go for a ride in that boat (any of them) maybe one will show up at the RBR. I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure Liqui-Fly and Raceman would be more than happy to join me in a CROW and WHINE dinner. ;) as long as it's on the house, that is:D I love reading stuff on this page, it's like a family get-together.:D :D :D :D

:D :D :D sounds like the pachanga is the best choice:o i thought jerry rocked a proline:eek: i think greg owns stock in progression:eek: i know a guy that does 100mph in a bayliner:eek: f#*k all that let`s just fight;)
