    Twin turbo jet drag boat

    Didn’t do a search, don’t know if anyone else has posted anything related to this but here goes.

    It looks like these guys are just having way too much fun. I watch them on Roadkill (Motortrend TV), had no idea they played with boats too.

    Finnegan is a cool cat,we drag raced with him around 2010 IHBA west coast.He has been playing with jets for decades.once that Placecraft is dialed in (looks close) there will be very few outboard drag boats that will hang with it in 1000' coarse,as bad as it hurts to say

    I'm sure he will be taking it and racing it soon enough. He's posted many videos of him racing jet boats years ago. He stated he has a few things to get dialed yet. I've followed his YT channel for a long time and the build of this boat since the start. The balsa/epoxy work inside it is beautiful. I'm sure that thing is well past the 100k mark.

    Welp .. a set of Sonny's Chemi heads , rockers . pistons , and intake is $26,350.00

    http://https://www.sonnysracingengin...per-engine-kit

    A whole one with supercharger is $107,600.00

    One with a pair of hair driers might even be a little more …

    There are zero outboards that can run with that boat in anything over 660’. Lol
