Thanks gary,got some stuff to do this morning.Hope to get ahold of rj to take a run.

That looks brand spanking new, great finish on the boat and motor.
not so sure about just the "90" decals on the back though !!
so many are going to see this over take them and be gutted to see just 90 on the motor
being over taken by a 140 or "190" is not so bad, but to see 90 fly past will make a few feel .

[racervboat]

Yeah the 1 on the sides can be taken off in a heart beat.

[racervboat]

But most would know its a v-4 with an added 1 to make it look like a 190 not going to fool anyone till I blow past them.

Was great to finally see this thing in person. It was a bumpy ride, but they both made it back to the trailers!

[olboatman]

So give us the details!!!!!!

Well started out in the morning motor ran like crap found a plugged main jet.Back in the afternoon lots of people out was pretty rough and hit a roller hurt my back AGAIN.Were able to do a few runs but could could only hit 70mph rj hit 77mph with his v-6.Dont know if its the 12inch mid and tuner,the 30 pitch cleaver or just not set up right was just the first time out? With the 15 inch mid set up and the powerhead im running and a 26 pitch cleaver I know for a fact this boat ran 85mph so got some issues to figure out.rj has a 9 page v-4 and says his on the viper ran 83mph but I will figure it out.

[rjdubiel]

The Viper ran 83.3 with a V6 powerhead with the v4 lower and 14 inch 30 cleaver (there was more but I was getting over my comfort level that day!). I have only been told the boat goes 80 with the V4 power head and the 30 cleaver. I have seen 77-78 max with the V4 powerhead and the 30 cleaver. Anyways, when out running yesterday Kens boat looked like it was running nice and there were some yahoos out there running all over the F'ing place back and forth, zig zags all over. I think that was when Ken hit that roller. How is your back anyways to day Ken?

[rjdubiel]

I think Ken is onto something with the 15 VS 12 inch mid. Maybe with the 12 it cannot get the exhaust out fast enough and that is causing the motor to hit a wall. I want to put my V4 back on! They sound much better than a V6.

[racervboat]

Thank you my brother rj.My buddy came over today that I just bought those 2 v-4 core motors from and he too thinks it may be the mid and tuner cause its the only thing that has been changed?Guess I got the v-4 v-6 info wrong so lets do the v-6 over the winter with the mod and you will have a 90 + mph viper.But you kmow momma aint going near that rear seat but hey don't tell her what were going to do to that v-6 . And I hope she does not go on s&f or your BUSTER LOL.

[rjdubiel]

Hell, I can build that up for the vking! Let's bust out my v4 and build another 12! I have a complete motor or two!

[racervboat]

olboatman gary don't let my probs discugrage you at all that mota on that viper will rip ass or I will personally fly out there to NH and make it hall ass. My word on that and I do need a vacation and a week getaway my friend. P/S RJ is a very nice man. I do very like that I made a very nice friend and S & F buddy.Thank you for this site GREG.
