Imagine racing THIS - and LOSING!

Raceman's formula for runnin' exceedingly fast:

First treat the lake with 5 gallons of the Raceman Secret Yankee Formula Water Slickener.

Stick one box of dense Yankee air under the engine hatch, or under the cowl if it's an outboard.

Add quart of Blue Marvel Mystery Oil to the tank, or use to pre mix if it's an outboard.

Stick on a G Farce tuner. You can put it in the glove box if it's a stern drive, it works equally as well there.

Buy a Yankee calibrated GPS. (not sure if they still read knots on the MPH scale if used in the South)

Does not = 30 mph in any boat I've ever seen heard or dealt with. Or does it get it to the point where a 7" pad on a 20+ foot boat really starts working hehe. Greg I'm not stabbin' ya...just jabbin' ya.

Raceman knoock off the Yankee stuff too or I'll start talking about some of the fishman you boyz got down south.

my apologies, I misinterpreted your post based on the description. I am switching to decaffeinated now.:D

Fish

I felt much better after I called you a jackass. I retract that statement and in the future will tell you to drink water for the rest of the day. Unless of course I deserve it; which is also known to happen:D

Let it rip David. Soon as I get through with tha Yankeez, I'll be happy to jump on tha Suthun' fishermen with ya.............. 'specially the Suthun bass fishermen.

Well it's time to get back to work on the Fly. I am taking tomorrow off and have a new sense of success. I've easily removed 200 lbs of wet foam and interior from her and have all lightweight things going back in. Cut heads and some exhaust chest work and I should be over 110. I'm inspired.

David

them "trophy bass" are smaller than what I use for bait. Bring it on though, all i need is about a 1/3 of a mile head start in the 1/4 mile and I think I can give you a run for your money.

As a good ole boy (a damm Yankee) I have to agree with the raceman........and even though I have had my discussions with the Fly man, I am on his end on this one too..........

I would like to see in person these progressions running these speeds.........say at a radar shootout...............where the gun tells all...............

Turbo, I had a labelmaker sticker made for the side of my Stalker that says "Heartbreaker". It broke mine at first too (10MPH on the Pachanga) but it's a good tool.

This 100 MPH Progression seems very questionable.

My 20' Grand Sport weighs 950 lbs (taken from Allison's website) with I believe an 11ish" pad and it is almost impossible to balance without proper amounts of weight on the passenger side so it seems real difficult to balance and even bigger boat (that supposedly weighs the same) with a 7" pad and a real steep deadrise.

Plus, I agree with Liqui-fly, 30 hp and 200+ pounds doesn't seem to add up to 26 mph. I'm pretty sure I could still manage close to 90 with 5 people in my boat.

My lake is just under 6000 acres. Please do the math and send me enough of your patented " special yankee water slickener " to treat my lake. I'll also have one box of your " yankee dense air " please ship overnight and bill my mastercard. I'll be sendin' you yanks some 150 mph gps pictures soon.;)

I see your in Florida and your signature says vinyl. Do you do vinyl cowl stickers, I'm fixin' to repaint and resticker my cowl. e-mail me if you do [email protected] or call 352 288 8671

How fast with the 280??

The variable deadrise is great, but I don't see where it would make a difference in a flat water, top speed run. Maybe it helps in the chop.

If I'm not mistaken, Mr Fountain claims his bottoms are variable deadrise.

Anyway, the bottom still looks an allot like a challenger

Hey Raceman,thouhgt you might like to know that Bob Teague drove a 25 foot eliminator daytona to 144.7 mph on a imco built bravo design. Its fact,not fiction or urban legend and it only took 1350 hp to do it :)
Running over 100 with a bravo is very common place in my boating circle. 1100 hp in that progression would get it there but it would eat drive up pretty quickly.

Raceman... sharks already use water slickener....
its called mucus and is coming out of the skin .
dont know if it works a 100mph ...
To pull the bullet of the gear trou the water in 100 mph would use maybe over 225hp of the engine, If you have a boat that is going 80mph with the prop shaft 2.5 inch below it would go faster if the boat had been balanced for 1 1/2 inch over. If the prop had enough aria to keep the slip down. almost all indoor engines have the drives burried, if they have a light alu engine and drives high ....it seems like the drive is not burried from the roster on the video...:-)






tryed to attach a super small video clip but It doesnt work can anybody see it?
Yes it works if you right click and saves the target as:
