Chaudron's 22 foot model, a 24 degree V wave crusher. Rumor has it a 300R is being rigged on the back of one.

But, proving you can't keep a good SOB down(under) ........... the Labsport 21 below will be roaming the same Western US waters as the Nordic, and looking to blast past its 2019 92 mph top speed this year.

how fast would that Labsport be?

Hard to say exactly with the 250 motor FUJIMO, but the Labsport on The List runs 94 with a V8 and a deep drive. You can see it in the first photo below.

Update -- The Labsport VF2 Mono with 300R and Sporty posted 96.4 mph using a 5 blade Cleaver. Looks like there is still more to be had.

Slow and steady wins the race.

It's not too late to pick up a 2020 Nitra 22 with Merc V8 power for Christmas. Now marked down to $70k and ready for pickup in Florida.

The new owners of Velocity USA are building an interesting new SOB, the 230 SC. Looks like a great fit for the V8 Merc at 22'11" and 8' beam.

Not sure if this model is in full production yet.
