No not yet. One of the reasons we are taking it out is to film it and shoot it properly, and do a write up on the boat to market it better online.

That's what I thought it was.

 

[RiverDave]

Just showed up and saw it.. Pretty damn impressive! Off to the lake now with Tommygun.

What a day in the office! :thumbsup

 

[Warlock1]

If I didn't have to be at the hospital this morning I would drive out there and watch this go down....:thumbsup

 

[RiverDave]

Just about game time..



Giant cav plates underneath..

 

[Tank]

Legit!

Lake pleasant is a really fun party lake. Not quite big enough to let that bad boy stretch its legs.

 

[ToMorrow44]

Didn't that thing have multispeed Weismann transmissions too? Always wondered how it ran with that set up, it kinda disappeared...

It may dig a nice trench all the way to laughlin.....that rudder is built like a damn tank!

Yes it has four speed transmissions.

I have been 175 0n that lake then you run out of room-fast.

LOL
I am sure that this isn't the kind of Better Marketing that the owner is looking for.:rolleyes

Probably why it's a 500k boat and not the 1.3 million he has into it...

Fuck...

Some kinna SMG deal?? Can't imagine that any kinna auto trans would hold up to that kinna heat/torque! :yikes

 

[Boat Potato]

I've been wondering what happened to that boat. I also saw it at the scope run in long beach. They were trying to work the bugs out of the trannys. I thought they were 6 speed air shifted? Bad ass motors for sure. It will be interesting to read Dave's write up.

Shit... just figured out who it was with Shanklin at the races! Heya Tommy! Sorry I didn't recognize you behind the rug on your face.

It sure does get small in a hurry! Good BBQ at Dillons though...

Dillons is closed now?


Edit: or did they move to the marina side now?

Moved to the Marina side.

 

[MSum661]

Why not go with Lenco CS1 4 speed with air shift? Rated at 3000 H.P. each.
Probably get Scott or somebody to toss in some Top Fuel rated inner shafts.

Scorpion Bay Marina was purchased by Troon Golf. Rumor is Troon has some big plans for the marina.

Heard the same.... many more slips, golf and hotel.

I dunno about that.. According to Al the Boat ran 178 at LOTO with a waste gate problem on one motor..

 

[Blubyu]

You guys are right down the road from me, how much longer will you be there, I'm off?

Tom and I are already rolling back to Havasu.. Boat is back on the trailer and back at the house.

Uh-you should really call me -I was there when Ricque Ford drove the boat.

3000hp rating for extremely short duty cycles, like seconds. This is what most people discount when comparing automotive stuff to marine stuff.... Same with engines, lots of 1,000hp naturally aspirated drag v8's, but hold 1,000 for 30 seconds constant, a minute, instead of the 6 seconds it takes to make a pass, and everything starts to come apart as the engine starts to saturate heat and strain.

 

[JRS1939]

Teague would tell you that you don't need 5000HP to even go 178 [emoji23] [emoji15] [emoji106] [emoji5]

No problemo. .

I just repeated what the owner told me.. Had a motor problem on one side and it still turned 178.. Whether that's true or not I dunno? I wasn't there. Gary was so I will give him a call and see what's up.

Other then that, I went and looked at the boat today and we buzzed it around pleasant a little bit I don't really know a lot about the history of it..

It wasn't a joy ride Billdo.. Lol. We spent about an hour on the water to get everything I needed done. (About an hour on land as well)
