LOTO Shootout Outboard

**Anthony Cruz** · 08-31-2021, 05:32 PM

Yes sir official clocked at 72 at the end of the course. I saw 85 before that. Oh well you know how people are and I get it lol but I have nothing to prove and I am not a liar. The boat is coming back again soon to take care of business and then it's on to bigger faster things.

@Anthony Cruz -Do you have any more pics of the build, or story behind it? Pretty damn cool project to take on. Gotta accelerate like a demon.

it looked very rough.

Yes pretty cool video. Definitely a learning experience anyone who loves fast boats needs to get out there. Rent a deck boat and enjoy the runs. Definitely going back next year. Rough to say the least dude lol you can see the rooster tail lay down mid track and get back in it toward the end, and even after the end lol

im not necessarily a huge fan or super excited about it, but it’s coming.

I saw you taking it out of the water on Friday just before we went by with the poker run boats. I was glad to see you on the trailer before all hell made it to you just North of Rons. Guys that have not run this lake have no clue especially from MM24 to MM10 on any Thur. thru Sun.

We had a great week with friends and have boated 9 days consecutive with another week to go.

Electric WAS abandoned!! It has been resurrected by idiot's that have been educated beyond there intelligence.

The fact that it's electric isn't the problem. The battery is the problem. By its very nature it adds another degree of separation from source fuel to end use energy consumption. Doing less with more. I restate, a battery will never be made, can never be made that can compete with fuel at the location of energy use. Even if the golf/ pride/ boat chimera thing ran 400mph and the battery lasted 2 days, it still needs to be recharged from a fuel source.

A hundred years ago when the internal combustion engine was refined and miniaturized enough to fit in personal transportation vehicles batteries were abandoned, why?? Because now the fuel source could now be in the same place the energy was created and used. Batteries make 0 sense when this is possible, as this is the simplest method of powering machines. In any application where batteries are still used, they are a stopgap, the best solution we have until can fuel, create, use the energy all in the same place. Any additional steps create inefficiency and added complexity.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to deduce that batteries are just plain stupid. A step backwards in progress.

Fuel equals freedom. Fuel,, create, use modes of transportation have given humans freedom of movement not ever before seen in our recorded history. Batteries inhibit the flow of that simple equation, thus inhibit freedom of movement, reduced again inhibit FREEDOM.

Battery transportation is anti freedom. Anyone involved in there creation, proliferation, sale, or use. Is a modern day uncle Tom. Weather by there own ignorance or for nefarious gain they are complicit in there own enslavement. Communist.

Your last paragraph gives a great description of our country's leaders. They are the ones funding and pushing manufactures to atomic electric vehicles and using our money to do it. I will say this, when you visit japan and many other countries in S.E. Asia, there are toyota prius running around with more miles then you can imagine (5 to 700K).

JPEROG yea I really didn't know the waters get so crazy out there. At one point about 20 Cigs, Fountains, big cats went flying by while we were checking stuff out on the water Friday. Kinda dangerous lol Awesome event in a beautiful landscape can't wait for next year. Promise I'm not a communist ��

On that Note...

How come trains with a 100 cars in tow use electric motors?

Instant Torque no peeks constant and reliable like millions mile reliable, yes very boring and batteries have always been the Issue that's why the big diesel to make the electric, we are living on the verge of many new Ideas coming to

Fruition, that's why Toyota the largest is waiting for solid state because they know lithium batteries is not the answer, they have been investing in solid state for a long time.

Haven't read through all the pages/ posts BUT WTF ? One of our own trying something new, damn good on ya Mr. Cruz! I get it might not be for everyone, so let me ask you what did YOU bring to the LOTO run

Lets stone him for trying something out of the box... lol

You guys are better than this, at least some of you are!
