Whats the fastest you have been in a boat?

[Ultra247]

I rode in the Dial 911 Skater and did 155 mph. It was fast but I have to say, doing 90+ in a twin turbo Schiada was more of a pucker factor!!

 

[JD D05]

A little North of 150 in the Nordic Enforcer.

For some reason i imagined her convincing someone to step on it.

 

[TVMNick]

[getreal]

151 in a 19' Daytona

The fastest I've ever been in a boat is about 10 minutes. Let me confirm that with the wife...

I'm just saying, she's going to say more like 2-2.5min. But who says it's not a race anyway.

7k rpm in dial 911 at 155?

No way, the owner of the boat's wife used to be Matt's secretary. As far as I know he still has it, blows through drives pretty consistently though.

151 in a 19 Daytona? I think thats the most impressive number in this thread. Yee Fing Ha!

You're reading the same gauges that I did! It was the Charity ride from last summer.

The crazy thing was that it was a little choppy on the water due to wind but other than the roar of the engines in your ears, the thing rode like you were sitting on the couch in your living room.

I'm with you! 151 in a 19' Daytona is flat out crazy!

 

[Backlash]

Mid 90's in a Skeeter bass boat that had entirely too much motor hung on the back!

[fastenuff3]

92 Hallett 290 600sci stage 4.145 Canyon pro gas flat.212 blown alcohol hydro

 

[PlanB]

28 Skater 300x's. Actual vid clip of the 117 mph run.

113 mph in the below DCB.

106 in my Mach 26 with 2.5's (don't have a pic on this computer)

Aired out in the ocean in the Cig at 85 mph was the most thrilling ride though...

 

[Tank]

We bumped 150 in Teagues Skater the same day we were running with Lick This up river. Good run.

 

[FlyByWire]

136 in the back seat of Don Johnson’s f32. Twin 1150’s(?)

 

[twocents]

165 mph in a DCB F32 -- 158.17 mph in a Sanger picklefork hydro, unblown fuel class NDBA in the late 1970s. Averaged 87.4 mph for 7-hours in a Stoker 20/modified Evinrude 235 V-6 to win the Mod VP class at the Parker Enduro in 1981, co-driver with Al Stoker.

 

[zermenojr]

Just over 120 with Bob Leach on the Green Monster (Lake Elsinore) last February. The boat had more, but we ran out of lake. I think this was one of his last water tests.

Loved it when they would do runs to the bridge and back. No better sound on the river.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

142-143mph 33’ Daytona.
Think they were twin 900’s.

Fastest I have driven was a HTM SS with a N/A 540. Low 80’s dad told me to knock that shit off before I could get it to 90

I call bullshit, no way a 33 Daytona runs that fast with only 900hp. It would take 609” with 14/71’s with less than ideal conditions....

[lavey jr]

Fastest ridden, DCB M35 twin Merc 1350's 170mph with Tony C driving at Lake Havasu

Fastest driven, 109mph at Lake Havasu in a Lavey Craft 39 EVO twin Merc 700's and same boat 105mph in the ocean on the way to Catalina Island.

 

[Kfabe]

So there i was... me and by closest bros headed to Havasu for spring break 2004. Loaded down with all of our black socks, metal mulisha t shirts and flat billed hats. One of my bros brothers had a big DCB. The thing had two decommissioned f-16 jet engines right in the back. Probably went bout 712 mph. Boat had plenty left. Probably banged 98 chicks. SPRING BREAK 04!!

 

[Familyties]

Had her top off in 3 minutes.

 

[Groper]

When I was a kid I had a 10' Glassbar with a 15hp. Johnson that did about 15 knots and was by far the best HP to Speed ratio I've ever experienced

That’s running the small props that will accelerate like a dragboat from a running start. 70mph to 155mph in 4 to 5 seconds pins you in the seat, it’s unreal.

 

[Boat 405]

155 mph. 19' Eliminator Daytona, MPD Jet Drive. 572 Big Chief Nitrous Engine. 1800hp.

 

[Gelcoater]

Fastest I have been is pretty yawn inspiring compared to most of you guys, lol.

114 in a 21 Daytona. Sweet package, Merc 502EFI (a black engine)/Blackhawk drive package, with an aftermarket (can’t remember now, Paxton maybe?) centrifugal supercharger.
It was the first run off the trailer as far as props and tune. That was 3 guys on board, driver, me shotgun with a radar gun, and a guy in the back with a computer plugged into the engines EFI, doing his final tweaks on the tune.

Someone else here mentioned the pucker factor.
That same day we ran a 28 Daytona to about 100-102, and was almost (almost ) boring after stepping out of the 21.

That 21 with the blackhawk seems like the ideal set up.

I had a 33 Daytona. It ran 133 with 700’s. 900’s will do 140’s no problem.

Technicalities.

110 - 50 ft Outer Limits. Twin 1,250 Pfaff / Baca power

Other than props are costly..and parts are scarce. Lol.
It was ideal back then that’s for sure.
It was quicker and faster than a blue engine 21, and cost less to do

Where’s Mark @Eliminator Boats ?
I think he’s got one of those sleeper 21s

Well I had a small buzz so I could have missed the details. I do remember wind removing bikini tops.

My Calif Performance 19' did 114 mph with a 582 ci 1000 hp 14.5.1 comp 1050 dominators on race gas. extensive pump work along with a bottom work

My race stand up back in the day was right at 70. Ridiculous when you got off it

My most unusual 'fast' boat ride was 25+ years ago at Lake Mead. I went with Bob Leach to Temple Bar to meet up with Roseanne Barr who was houseboating with her then husband, Ben (her former body guard) and a few friends. The mission was to give Roseanne some driving tips on her new twin engine 30 Daytona. Roseanne was in the driver's bucket, Bob was crouched behind her and leaning over with his hand on the throttle sticks, Ben was in the back seat and I was standing alongside Roseanne to her left taking photos of her driving and the instrument panel. Got some shots of her and the Livorsi speedo at 102-103mph. The story and photos appeared in Boating Magazine a few months later.
