Thanks Hanging in there but a ways to go!! The Twister would be hard to beat but the 23 Trick with 450 would be a nIce Package!!
Thats hot.... by the way.... whatever happened to Sosa Powerboats? Anyone know?
That hull looks like it could light as fuck and also has a lot of air entrapment surface. I’ll bet it lifts almost entirely out of the water once it packs air. Will be interesting to see what attitude it rides at when it’s spooled up. Little wide body boat was something Danny and I were talking about quite a bit, he had some pretty cool renderings he wanted to make a run at.
6400 rpm on a 300r
Is there a hack that will void the warranty and spin higher rpm’s?
Through the grapevine, it sounds like mercury is really cracking down on that. I’m sure it’s still possible but you don’t want to be caught messing with it.
I’m just curious what they are capable of with a consumable type of mindset LOL
Solid point, so let’s say one of these hulls with some livid 2.5’s on the juice, wondering how it would stack up to a Mach 22 with same rigging?
The one I know of blew up trying lol
The Warlock 25 STX ran 85-90 mph with two 2.5 outboards. I think the Cougar 23 MTR was close. There was a 23 MTR wth twin 300's that ran 90.
There’s a guy I’ve been talking too with a 23 that went 113

He was using one of my tall Props for the Twister
Enduro testing last year.

I'm looking for a Hot Boat mag from Oct 96. It has this article with my boat in it. I also think it's in Aug 96 Hot Boat. If anybody has it and would be willing to sell it, please contact me.
You’ve got 280s right? I think the issue is after 100 you gotta really start bumping that trim button. You know with your brass ballsIf I don’t go into the teens this spring. I’m selling the boat.

But you’ll drive a 7-8 second GTR lolIf I don’t go into the teens this spring. I’m selling the boat.
My Guess 102 mph 300R, 112 mph 450R may be a Enduro option with center Pod 110 mph Max.
I’m pretty sure most twin 280 Mach 22s run in the 120s.You’ve got 280s right? I think the issue is after 100 you gotta really start bumping that trim button. You know with your brass balls
Edit. I think someone has gotten a 22 into the 130s with 300 drags.
Here’s one claiming 130. That’s fucking moving in a 22 tunnel.
Yeah 280s con. Just feels like I hit a wall at 110. Need to try again with less fuel.You’ve got 280s right? I think the issue is after 100 you gotta really start bumping that trim button. You know with your brass balls
Edit. I think someone has gotten a 22 into the 130s with 300 drags.
What pitch props?
A lot more sketch on a boat. Especially those fucking ducks on Parker.
Can you even steer a single engine boat at 120+? Or is it just headed “straight”.
I’m sure the acceleration is insane too. It will be interesting to see how the 23 Trick feels at speed being a small boat but with the wrap around windshield.Here’s one claiming 130. That’s fucking moving in a 22 tunnel.
FOR SALE: DCB Mach 22 with Twin Drags

I think that answers my steering question lol. Such a badass boat.Windshield
Love your boat. 🫶Windshield
I don’t remember they guys names, but there were some twin brothers back in the day at bbsp that both had setups like that, one went nitrous and I wanna say the chatter was 135mph.Here’s one claiming 130. That’s fucking moving in a 22 tunnel.

When they dump the motor and slow down lol
Those Formula 1 tunnel boats spend more time in the air than in the water. I knew Lee Davies very well, he had a marine business in Port Moody BC not far where I lived. Watching him and the other drivers doing 90 degree corners is mind boggling.
X2 !!! That thing is badass!!!!
