Outboard Top Speed World Record 200 mph Attempt

[afr]

subscribed i was looking at buying this hull my self a while back
its a shame that team all fell apart or they would have done it for sure by now

when JW R.I.P was still alive and all this was coming together they had thoughts of using a over drive lu 10,000 rpm on the engine 20,000 on the prop

see if you can get a hold of bob wartniger he would be the man to talk to about the propulsion

???? You mean looking at an outrigger??? Who's team fell apart??? I'm confused, because this boat was built for me. It has not been around, it was custom built for me by Dan Ellison, nobody else. Maybe I am reading your message wrong. Can you shine some light on it please. Thanks

dan i spoke via email a year ago or so about it
jw was doing the power etc i dont want to air all this on the boards

I researched going after this record three years ago.........Spring of 2010. I'm not here to stir the pot, but none of this is "news" to me. I'd highly recommend you speak to those with firsthand experience such as the aforementioned Bob Wartinger, or others such as Fred Hauenstein, Alex Hledin, Dave Bush, etc. - they will be the ones with credible advice.

You are not the first to to see or have that rendering, I drew that picture and posted it yrs ago looking for sponsors or someone go after this record. The Idea is not new BUT Todd Lamb Is the one stepping up and actually getting this built and putting up his $. He has the first and only one of these hulls to date. All the rest is just BS!

10/4 i wish i could have did something back when myself
cool deal good luck i know you can get it done
we all see problem child all the time
i just looked back at the email that was back in 2010 we spoke of this ride lol

Here is a little secret. Jon Wright bought a full on NASCAR motor from Richard Childress.He figured out how he could stand it on it's end with one of his injection systems. He was going to run it with a big hydro hull, a tube mid section and some nitrous and he was pretty sure he could reset the record. Mercury not helping after all he did really pissed him off. Reid and I told him we were against it because it was not a real outboard. His reply was is the motor in the boat or hanging off the ass? I still think the record would mean more with a true outboard powerhead. But if he was still around I know he would be rooting for you guys. But then I would get a call from Kentucky when yall reset the record."Hey Head" we can go faster.

Motor didn't end up in an old Buick did it?!? Euchee is open Hot Rod. I still need to get up to Kentucky and see if my big head will fit.

I look at it this way. It does not matter who has talked about it before. The time is here now, so what can we all do to get it done. Any help is appreciated and there has been a lot of good comments on here to help me look at other avenues. Let's all pull together and make it our record, not just mine and Dan's, but everyone who gets involved. Thanks guys

Best of luck. This is a very cool undertaking.

I would presume that, "He with the most money, bears the most liability". What's a hold harmless agreement if it doesn't hold you harmless??

A 7 marine with a ten inch lower pulley, id 850 injectors, LS 9 cam, and some methanol injection would be close to 750 or so on pump gas at the prop and would push a boston whaler 200 mph. lol

Start a paypal account, take donations to get your name somewhere on the boat, Matt
