Dont your beer cups blow over at that speed? Haha!

Impressive numbers for a single engine toon! Keep us posted!

Way cool. I’m not a toon guy but see where they fit in.

Here’s a nice holeshot from a single 450R Princecraft
Fast forward to about 1:05 if you just want to see the launch

Comes out like a Nautique- Thing almost sounded like an electric motor/I.O. combination being buried like that. As the years go by, these look better and better to me and my dogs.

Sounds like mid 70s material to me. That is running really hard when people are sitting on a couch-be safe. Put up a video when its off the break in leash.

I went to the dark side and bought one. Absolutely love it(always said I would never). Bought me a little Allison to keep me from having withdrawals

Not bad for a floating living room...

Everything about them is wrong hydrodynamically and aerodynamically, but obviously if you bludgeon them with torque they attempt to defy physics.

As Joe said, with that much thrust and people sitting on couches you just have that many more people to be responsible for, especially kids and grandmas who have no idea what is going on.

And if you put twins on you can run with Miss GEICO...

Be careful what you say, I have seen several of them with twin 450s at loto. Supposedly 90 is very attainable at this point and Jim Dorris has his son running a single 400R *(see it at the 2:43 mark in the video below)* on a 26 that runs mid 70s every time out. Its amazing the kind of water they can run over.

who'd ever thought...lol

I have two 300R’s on a 32 Skater
Hoping the gear cases will stay together better than the 300X.
You sure are asking a lot from that gear case.
I am very interested to see how long it lasts.

It has decent packed water from the center toon. The center log hangs down lower then the outsides by 6 inches or more on most of these.
