Why the hold up? A win is a win.

That is really impressive for that large of boat (36 DW) to run 128 mph in only 3/4 mile. With outboard power no less! These are not drag race boats. I have run the LOTO Shootout in the past with the Mercedes 44 MTI with twin 1500 Sterlings and my MTI with twin 1300 Ateco engines, and I can tell you even in one mile the boats were nowhere near top speed. They used to start the boats at just on plane speeds slower than what they allow now. I ran the Mercedes boat at 146 mph in the mile course and there is video of the same boat running 191 mph flat out for miles in Florida. My boat ran the same speed of 146 at the Shootout. It takes at least 3-4 miles to get to top speed in a big cat. Hats off to the father and son for their win at LOTO. Has to be a really special moment for both of them.

Nice work Kory.....hope you and your Dad run it again next year. Was fun to watch.

**JPEROG** · 02-13-2023, 09:35 PM

We are going to run the 32 and 36 if its done in time. This is such a cool memory for us to have-very thankful on many fronts to have the opportunity. Its really like a dream to me but Kory doesn't know anything too different. All you guys need to be doing what you can with your kids while the opportunity exist. My goal is to be able to continue running with him until he is doing it with his son someday.
