95 with a Formula 353 fastech, Air Conditioning, Fridge, Vacuflush Toilet, and yes it does have a Kitchen Sink. Certainly not the fastest but not bad for a Condo on the Water. :D

My old 1973 Tahiti runs 50 MPH with the old 1973 Chrizzler 130 (yeah right) HP, an unknown prop, and the busted power trim trimmed all the way down.

My 21 Schiada with 32 gears and a 3 blade Tom Black 16 will top out about
103 mph on a perfect day.

I'm also a bit surprised by Charity Case with 1500hp and 18 gears. I don't
get it, I used to have an Eliminator Flat (one of 7 ever built) with a mild
blown motor, maybe 700 hp and turned 37% easily. Am I missing something here?

Shoooooooooot, I'm slower than that... LOL
My pontoon is 15 MPH (for sale as well as the nice Eliminater jet in the foreground)
and I may actually work on one of the fastest in the low 6's (6.453), 171mph. 4 out of 5 members post so it counts, ehh?

RD,

If you're gonna ask a question such as this you may want to start a bench racer section first ;) Just a suggestion :skull

Don't claim to be the fastest, we just got the bugs worked out and are starting to step on it . . . maybe '08 I'll see what she will do . . . . :D

Are we talking dead flat water or in 3'-4' rollers? 65mph in rollers...

I don't claim to be the fastest either, but I think mine would do very well against any open boat in a lake race.

Thanks for compliments....

Your Hydro runs some respectable numbers, definately a stout lake rocket.

I figured I'd give it a a couple of weeks.. No worries I'm sure everybody will have a chance to put their # in.

I will ask though, that they own the boat and post here. That's my only 2 stipulations.


Ok! I own it(thru marriage) and it runs 108.
I mean come on,
NO-ONE SPINS PAST THE REEDS FASTER THAN I DO

Well I know it's not going to be the fastest but 96 with under 700hp ain't bad.

Just checking in while grabbin another beer and saw your message . . . . getting the flat ready for CFW tommorrow, I could go on and on but Performance Boats did a nice article and pics of it, go to the on line version, pages 48-52. If you don't like the article or boat, you can still enjoy the eye candy on the bow:D

Better get back to it . . . . :beer . . . Happy New Year

LOL that's about 3 times as fast as our boat :p I think the fastest we had it at was 64, and it seems to be losing a little every season. Either that, or Jeff is just getting old and lighter on the throttle due to maturity :hmm doubtful

When I wrote the "rules" of the little contest here, I wrote "own the boat and post here."

Not to worry though Tony, next contest is "fastest you've ever been in a boat" which I'm sure you'll probably take down.. and if ya don't? Well I send ya a few T-shirts anyways. ;) :D
