    Project Triple Digits Is done and completed

    Project Triple Digits is done and completed for 2008. After almost 4 years of R+D it's final over. I brought her as far as she can go speed wise, with out major modifacations. The project was about taken a ordinary 22 foot V bottom and get it to go 100 mph. So I elected not modified the bottom of the boat for more speed. It was a great time from the time I brought her home in a snow storm from NH in feburay to just this year at Mole Fest. I have learned so much from that deal and had so much fun that I purchased another boat for the 2009 year and will be a new project boat. It will be lighter faster and I will have aprox 75 more HP then I did last year. The name of the project will be released soon. The Sting Ray is for sale less motor, drive and steering.

    a $20,000 race motor putting out 600 hp is not a major modification?

    Fail.

    So what happened to the magic pixie dust outdrive test?

    I am adding some hp to my boat this winter, we're hoping for 150 mph, it will be the fastest 24' single outboard V - bottom boat in history.

    Of course we are doing all of this on a shoestring budget, meaning there will be no major modifications anywhere, this will all be secret gear case shaping, stock powerheads, and of course we won't have video or gps becuase we are not going all out on the budget.

    Not at all. It was a complete success. It was a test bed for my Alpha drives. It was a test bed for a new wiring system. It was a test bed for a new anti corrsion deal because we run in salt water. It was a floating labatory. The boat 2 years ago was over the century mark with the use of nitorus oxside. The last 2 years I was working on handling issue. I took the boat as far as the stock hull would go with out major moding the bottom. And yes it was alot faster then 87 mph on motor
