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 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.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

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.
