The Real Question.. Fastest Boat on RDP?

[RiverDave]

Who's got it?

Our little boat tops out at about all of 55mph for right now.

79 Spectra 20 = 55 mph.

Where do you fall?

Winner of the fastest boat gets T-Shirts from me when they are done.

definitely not going to be the overall fastest, but I've done 112mph in the West Coast Focker. will go faster with a labbed prop, but I have not gotten around to getting one. Pretty good for a single engine Ultra cat. its a heavy pig and move pretty fast.

probably a good idea to provide a little proof...

Thats pretty good 112 mph and 800 rpm and no oil pressure :fsakes

Is this limited to boats you own.....or get to ride on?....

 

[maxwedge]

Normally, low 6o's, but if I light up the the blower, forget to put down the bimini top, and list it on ebay, it's damn near un-beatable

 

[RiverDave]

Gotta own it, and post here...

but go ahead Brian, throw the #.. I'm sure it's gonna be pretty impressive.

After the one comment years back "We regularly go over 150 mph and life jackets are never worn.. The general consensus is it won't help much"

I can only imagine.

Can't ever hold on to the GPS & drive at same time.
1500hp
473lb hull
18 gears
I don't know 120?

 

[Phat Matt]

I get about 85mph. Definitely not the fastest but respectable I think for such a big boat.

 

[cave]

Plain ol 56 with the current. Wind in the face fighting the current feels like 150. I don't tell em its closer to 50

Opps You said fastest. Back to the Vodka:drnkfr

 

[Fiat48]

You take your girl with you and the put the Gps...ummm....between...I mean uhhh...you attatch it to your Lifeline vest.

18 gears?

 

[Photo Chick]

Since Tony's on the road I will answer for him....I'm going with this one

 

[Flyinbowtie]

How 'bout a shirt fer the slowest?

The SkiSanger tops out at about 48, slashing away at the water with the 4-blade Nibral prop turinin' about 5k on the tach.
But hey, it'll pop multiple skiers out of the water no problemo...

 

[Ultracrazy]

Well.........you can tell this isn't HB........answers are too truthful.

68.7584994 in my 24 Ultra............496HO - 26p

 

[RandyH]

No way I could win it. But I would buy a shirt if it helped fund the admin costs.

My slug takes 650 HP to run 75 with a well tuned pump. But it will do it all day long or until the temp gauge pegs. Just fast enough to suck the beer from a can.

What are you running in your 24?

 

[RandyH]

What are you running in your 24?

I bought my 21 just before he had the 24 plug done. It has a 540 Merlin with crower internals from top to bottom. Solid Lifter cam and MPD pump. The wife wanted nothing thru the hatch so no blower. Life is full of compromises.

 

[knuckle head]

Stoker 224 500HP 92mph

 

[RiverDave]

Shit Ultra John... errr Just John might take this thing down if some peeps don't start putting up some #'s.. LOL

RD

 

[TPC]

I think that lad from Michigan that checked in a short spell ago might get the nod.

Mine will eventually do 48 with the Bimini top down,, so count me out.
Does a pretty good 0 to 23 though.

 

[boatnam2]

28ft lavey deckboat 650hp a best of 77mph or so.Maybe you need to make a few different classes dave. river runner..cat..deck..or is it just going to be top dog.

Figured we'd start with Top..

Different classes (outboard, i/O, V-Drive, deck boat, cat,) etc.. will be down the road..

As soon as some stuff happens I figured I'd give the top guys a little something for the effort.

But the 11 foot RIB dingy feels amazing at 30 with a 25HP Merc!

[catman-do]

We are in the mid-low 70 range.

 

[RiverDave]

Hey Dave at what point does this contest end?

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.

What association allowed you go 7.20's in an open boat?

 

[BadBlown572]

When I had the blower motor in the cat, it did 118mph on GPS.


Now my "fast" boat runs mid-high 80's.

 

[BadBlown572]

If Mark posted over here, I think he would have the fastest "Pleasure" boat for sure.

We'll certainly not the SLDBA, ran that time once during grudge matches at one of their races and got a stern lecture from the officials not to do it again.

 

[beaverretriever]

I know we are not the fastest at 106+ but I bet we are one of the few that do it with the least ammount of HP (300) and fuel usage!!!

 

[blown65]

Best so far is about 93mph, twin 496's.

 

[pw383426]

How exactly do you do 106mph with only 300hp?:hmm
