What would 1/2 a pitch do to you ? Say same prop just little work to try get that 1 or 2 mph to 100 in 660?

Would it had been the diffrence in losing that tight race off the line instead winning ? Or drove back round him on big end?

Just curious to the sensitivity

It's all in the setup. The two boats in the videos we split the wins for the weekend. All the boats that ran promod could have won on any given day. I brought two props down with me a 20p and a 21p tested both props in Jasper broke a skeg and didn't get any data from the 21p so I went with the 20p. I heard ets of over 5 tenths quicker than I have ever run but I still wanted to see how the boat would stack up.

Damn that boat is exciting to watch. Motor sounds perfect, leaves hard, boat is on the prop right now. HydroStream in the hunt at Jasper! Wow.

It is ultra competitive there.

Thanks again for the entertainment.

That is incredible. Are you ever tempted to throw bigger props on it just to see how high a number you can reach?

You had MANY people smiling, I believe more Streams were built that any other performance boat at the time or EVER, so many might be driving another brand now but most had a Stream somewhere along the line, the strakes you added next to the pad I believe adds a lot to speed and control, GREAT JOB, I hope your coming back next year, most don't know but a 10th of a second at 100mph is around 15 feet and you had a lot of close races with the best of the best Kudos.

Where di you get those foam strakes? I would like to add some to my Riot for more transom lift. It`s what we always referred to as a tail dragger. To much boat dragging through the water and to much bow lift.

Foam core material.

I am sure that the boat is capable of going over 110 pretty easily but it wasn't designed to go that fast and it isn't that aerodynamic. The boat accelerates so much faster than I ever imagined so for now we will work on drag racing and leave the top end to the younger drivers

Insane-0 will drive It, I got some props you can use, I like 4 blade Cleavers smoother.

You have the power for 130 something.

Put a tonneau over the back and two zippers for the driver, to sit in that's what I used drag racing years ago until

Darris Allison had ODBA officials make me remove it on the ramp just as I was going in the water to race, I was pissed nothing in the rule book

Tommy Dunn said to take It as a complement, I had him scared, did not like my home-made boat beating his...

Nope. I've gone waaaay faster in those hulls than needed. Bills boat does just fine drag racing.
