Top Speed How Fast Have You Gone Or Been In anothers Boat haulin azz

It takes some serious power to push a nor tech to 160. They are way overbuilt (I don't how you could break one)-major lamination, strength, and weight in those boats and he was at a 100 turning 5500 on the video. I doubt that he's going to twist those things to 9k to get another 60 out of it..--nice boat, just saying that it takes a really good combination to run North of 160 in a big boat.

In the pic I posted before? He was going 100 full boat load people probably 1/2 throttle. But MAYOR bucks the boat friend mine AS THE MOTORS! And well worked over motors will make it kiss 160, if the got the room. Can't comment on the vid as found it searching YT. I simple love Skaters as Nortechs! Look that assend the boat here as some SERIOUS HP "under the hood"!

I bet he burnt more in those seven minutes then I will the whole summer. I love speed but I don't have what it takes to want to run that fast.

Turbo charged 2.4's. Would like to see some vidio.

This was back in the 80's in a guy named Roger Crouch here on Lake Murray SC he has always had bad ass boats anyone who'son here from Lake Murray will attest to it

[dbug10]

I want to hear more about a 25 ft boat with a pair of 2.4's that'll run 154

Guess that can't happen here in SC Erik lol and Kevin Morrison was driving

Dave,

In that case it takes about 600k to go play at 170-the acceleration as you witnessed is second to none. I think there was a little over 400 gallons of C-14 used that day. He has since added 400 horse a side and re-geared the boat. He is thinking its capable of 225 now. (I WILL NOT BE BACK IN IT WITH HIM ON THE STICKS).

If I ever get my sh-- together and hit a home run in life, I will have one of those 38s.

This past memorial day we went 92 on GPS in our Laser LTV, but my favorite run was 103.5 in a 33 Powerplay when I rigged them years ago.
