96 with a jet 23' deck boat. Ran out of bowl pressure, should hit 105 after getting a different loader grate in it and some shoe. Should be testing it again next week. He was only thinking the boat would do 80, so I know he's stoked.

if you replace john with a driver half his size it would hit 105 without anywork. :D :D

Ultra28,how do you know it ran out of bowl pressure?
The boat looked good at the boat show and the motor looked even better. mike miller built a nice engine for John.

Bowl pressure gauge. It was the first time out with the boat, so we just wanted to see how it would do before starting to dial it in. I'm out of town this week at the Salt Lake City boat show, so I didn't get to ride in it myself, but I heard it was awesome. Can't wait until next week to test it out myself.
Yeah, that engine is killer. Mike Miller does some impressive work. Not too bad for just a couple of carbs (no turbos, blower or injection) :D

Right on guys. A couple of the prettiest boats at the show were hanging out in the Ultra booth, and definately the prettiest engine. Too bad it's hooked up to a ditch pump. ;) :D
Post some pics of that bad boy Big John. :D

How does the 23 Ultra compare to the Trident?
Very hard to compare. They are 2 very different boats.

Do Ultras come with a "phone book" option in the driver's seat like Charley's first DCB? :D

You ain't kiddin... When Mike rafted up next to us yesterday it was amazing how much smaller the 23 was. You wouldn't think 4 feet would look so big in the water, but it does.... Same weight though.
BTW, both of those decks you guys had out there yesterday were beautiful. I like the gray fade on the one they were driving.
PS... I'm telling the rangers on you for the big number pass... ;) I was scared doing 70 back there.

No kidding! My wife loved the 27 Shadow as well as the 23 Shadow. Of course little big John heard and tried to get me to trade up. :) But we love our 24 Stealth and not having any payments. Maybe in 10 years when the kids are bigger and we'll trade up to a deck. I'll have to see about this cat thing over V's too.

Thanks everyone. I am very happy with the boat and the performance. The thing I like is the boat ran that well right off the trailer with just two carbs no blower or turbo.

Congrats thats a big number out of a 23ft Deck with a Jet in it!!
I relly like the 23' Deck but know it would be a little small for my needs. I can't wait to see what the 27' deck looks like and how it affects the deck boat market. :)
