    Video's of fast V bottom's

    Ok here is the deal, I'm on Yellowbullet and trying to say I have been in a Donzi 38 fter that has been modified and have ran 161 mph and there is a guy saying there is hardly any v bottom boats going over 120 let alone 160 to 170 exspecially cigar boats, Is there any videos of any one going faster then 120 and having a gps in hand in any v-bottom boat? I would like to have a cigar boat one doing the same to if possible. If I was wrong please let me know. Thank you Gary McGruther

    I believe fountain holds the record at 176.????? in a full canopy 42! I think he called it Cat Killer.

    Go over on offshore only. You'll get your answer over there, and probablly the video also.

    Statement marine has a video of one of their boats doing 134mph on gps speedo on their website.
    Thats a boat anyone can buy, not a raceboat.

    I find it hard to believe the Donzi went 160. The Fountain the are talking about was Rio the Roses. Fountain does have a video of the boat running around 170mph in a poker run. It was called Cat Killer. The boat was a full canopy and had 1700hp motors. Some of the fastest V bottoms mostly run 120 or so. It takes mega hp to achieve speeds in access of 140. not saying it cannot happen but unlikely.

    I believe the video of the Fountain is on the Powerboat TV site. It ran in the kilo trials on the Pamlico River at the Fountain factory back door a few years ago. Two way run was 171 average.

    There is already a thread on OSO about this guy. There is NO WAY said Donzi went anywhere close to claimed mph. I think it was said to have 5-600 horse. I'll go look for it now.

    Theres lots of smaller Vee hulls that run over 130mph. But there only 20ft long with a single outboards. One of these little 20fters does 132 and change with a little old 2.4 on the back but these are just normal v,s not Off Shore boats. Some of these little clamp on SOB Vees do 121+ in the quarter. Knowone really knows how fast they would go if you put a wheel bigger than a 26 pitch on one? Some say over 140?? But no one has tryed that yet. Theres been quite a few documented 130+ runs though. Theres a vid on hear of a 129MPH run one way and 132 on another run that missed getting recorded but was timed and messured. Theres also a little bayliner that does over 120 also. That vid is on hear also.
