Dixon and I, and a few others have lunch together every Saturday. I can't remember the details on the motor he was running that day but seem to recall it was a 300 drag spraying several progressive shots of nitrous. I'll ask him today at lunch, if I can remember. I'd like to know about the prop and how many revs he turned, too. I do know he was/is adamant about liking the prop shaft set at 1 3/8" for best drivability at speed, and to get top speed out of a STV. He's calmed down a bit, concerning boats, over the last 10-12 years, but will still stretch one out occasionally in helping friends get their's dialed in.

For myself, when I think of “fastest single engine V bottom boats”, there is only one, and it’s name is Allison.
I remember the first time I saw a Grandsport running full tilt with a hot 200 ProV Yamaha hanging on the back - I was in my car heading South along the Mississippi River and he was running North maybe 50 yards away - glass calm and nothing but the prop in the water - maybe running in the low 90’s ? I’ll never forget it - I ended up having three of them.
Having said that, if I was shopping now, the Tuff 24 would be very high on my list - I’ve never drove one, been in one, or even seen one, but they seem very impressive.

I'm an old Allison fan. Had 2 years ago back in the early 80s.Then I went with go fast CCs.Anyway, picked up a V21 about 5 years ago and restored it. I'm satisfied with 80mph even though it's got more. I've got nothing to prove now and my reaction time/driving skills aren't as good as they once we're.This is a good thread,hope it keeps going on updates on whats going on now.

And then there is this from an interview with Darius Allison.
That’s the boat that set the outboard speed record at 129 MPH, in the 1980s. With a 2.4 Mercury, carburetor engine, it ran a 134 MPH in one pass, but the two way average was 129 MPH.

I would like to push a Tuff 16 some day with a light short shaft engine. They put a 150 on one for one day and went 92mph.

You have to take into account that it was Glenn Reynolds at the controls. Hell, I shook his hand at Jasper (back when you could do that sort of thing), and the next day I gained 5MPH in my XB2002. Likewise, I had a couple of dranks with King Louie Clienmark, and almost blew over backwards.
