I finally had a chance to pull the best clips from all of the different camera angles from the first test run of the Warlock Project. This project far exceeded my wildest expectation. What A Rush as you can see from the expressions on our face.

Incredible boat and build! We all want to know what your best top speed is so far!

**John Hice** · 07-31-2018, 08:10 AM

117 mph is the fastest at this point that was recorded on the data logger. It was running 117 at 52% torque load on the turbine, Lots more power to go but 117 is right on the ragged edge of my nerves in a boat that small.
It is like its on rails and running nice and flat at that speed but at what point does it start to lift?????????? I will feel a little more comfortable once I get a little more feel for the boat.

What I do is what the nose against the far shore so you can see if it's lifting. You gotta get it pretty high for it to catch air

Can't wait to be blowing that whistle on LOTO- only a couple weeks away John, don't wear it out between now and then.

As far as going any faster then the 120 that you are comfortable with, YOU HAVE NOTHING MORE TO PROVE... everyone knows that this thing is wicked bad and we like having you here with us as a friend.

I am so ready to go to the shootout and see all of the bad ass boats there.
I am with you Joe on nothing further to prove. This project has far exceeded my expectation and its plenty capable of going faster than I need to go in a 25' boat. If I need to go faster I will get in the old Bonanza and comfortably do 200mph.
