I guess i love speedboats, since i "collect" and are around them all day.

This is what i got now. Twister 24 4seater pleasure. Work in progress. I do everything on it

This is what it looked like before i start to work on it. The red is just a Photoshop of how i wanted to paint it before i started to build a 4seat pleasure, and now i going to gelcoat spray it

In the movie, it race in w-150, so its just a 150hp on it

And i have a Argo 23 with a mercury 300promax (old picture and video's 200xs on it)

The old owner cutted the canopy of this boat. I thinking about build a canopy like the one i build on my Twister now, just make a mold

And i have this one, a hightech 3000. Hightech was built by the owners of nor-tech. The story says they made the hightech's, earned some money, moved to us and started nor-tech.

I have a trippel lift and 3 evinrude etec 250's. So i play alittle with that idea, but with the gasoline prices i guess it going to end up with a vp d6 with dpr

This is my everyday cat, a procat 18 with a 250 evinrude etec. With a 30" hydromotive it does 0-95mph in 10seconds but it stops there. Funny little rascal

Looking Good Cant wait to see the finish product!! View attachment 1162515

I hope its will be as good looking as yours, but i feel my ending of the cockpit is alot rounder, more like these kardahasian big asses. to bad we live on different sides of Pacific, some pictures of them both together would be awesome. The original and the copy side by side

But i have been playing with a crazy idea the last days. I got the space in the back, cheap way to alot of horsepower, the ls engine's are lightweight and i will get a lower center of gravity and the weight distribution would be awesome

Have been a while since last update, to much work and just to little times.

Just a pic and a little video from the first trip this year. Snow and ice is no problem, the air temp was -4°c/25°f, so the nature is helping with the big intercooler and we logged 107mph that day. My friend that own the boat, dreamed about this boat 10years, before he got it, but the dream was with a 200xs, but he got a 300promax

Yeah, thats snow :( look close on the first picture of the Argo, the snow is dry on the water surface, so its ice

Working 12hours a day on this now, going for red hull and a black cockpit and black line on the deck, in a week or two

Will it fit? 5L v10, 500hp and a speedmaster drive. 1800-2000lbs totalt. Is it worth playing with the idea ?
