Have not been in that setup, but I did talk with Bob Teague after the DCB Regatta and he said the boat did not like to run under 120. Not in a bad way it is just that the boat took off right to 120 and cruised. He said he ran it a bit north of 150.:)

[neverfastenuff]

fuk load vs shit load i love it!!:D didn't like it under 12o!! wow thats sick! sounds like just the ticket!!:jawdrop: :jawdrop:

[neverfastenuff]

maybe hes talking a drag boat?

[War Canoe]

I was in a 36' Eliminator Daytona with twin 900 Poker motors....Bob Leach at the wheel, the Bullhead Bully was on board with us, 135+ at Lake Mead. It was kinda' rough and it was a memorable ride to say the least.

[andy01]

I drove a 368 Skater to 152 last year. You'll never ride/drive a more stable boat at speed.
Bob T's 32' probably doesn't handle well at low speeds with 6's that is why he likes the 120 mark. I know somebody that rode with him and he had to get out of it at 140 because the boat was getting out of shape do to boat wakes. That's the trade off in a narrow west coast boat.

[vee-driven]

:idea: 135 in a 21' boat ?? then you might hold the record for the worlds fastest 21, which I believe was held by the guy that drove the Cheyene 21 (126+), he died I beleive.
It was the old 747 a friend of mines boat and it was the only surviving one that rudy made that was a tunnel v bottom 1500+hp.

[Kilrtoy]

Ok my buddy , my friend, I heard
I was told..
WAKE THE **** UP People have you done it or not.....
I DROVE, PILOTED COMMANED or what ever you want to call it.
a 32 DCB at 129MPH for 2 miles thru 2' swells(YES AT THE RIVER).
But then again I WAS TOLD what is was like to drive a MTI at 202MPH thru havasu.
So HOLLAR at a brother

You're my hero.:rolleyes:
115mph in a 22' boat.

[XTRM22]

128 in a 29' DCB, then drove same boat to 90mph. ( Thanks Glenn)
But while it was fast it wasn't scary fast like 113 in a buddies California Performance Tunnel. Nothing like hitting 90 and have the driver ask if your ready! Nitrous is a beautiful thing!

[Bullhead Bully]

138 in the Mountain dew boat I was driving water conditions limited me from going faster:D

Theres a time and place to do 140 150. Skaters are #1 on the water and #1 for spinouts and rollovers, not from the boat itself , but from overconfident drivers. I would ASSUME Bob is an excellent driver, sounds like he knows his limits.

[BigBoyBlue]

120 in a DCB Mach 26. 525SC. Trimmed up and running loose.

Yes that is what I was saying, he knows his F-32 is limited in what it can run safely.

Thank you, I was just thinking the same thing........ more like a 1,100 to get to 120mph.

My cousins, uncles, Baby Mamas best friend took me for a ride in his 33' Eliminator and we did 127.:D :D

Kurtis 500 drag hydro blown alc inj. BBC 7.56 1/4 mile @ 152 MPH.
26' American Offshore blown 540, 105 MPH, still has a little more left but just getting used to boat.

[jh4rt]

It was back in the day.
18' Sanger flat w/twin turbo big block.
We were running 30% over in the V-drive; top gear in the Turbo 400 was 1:1, we were spinning a 2-blade 15" pitch prop at 7500 RPM. (14lbs of boost).
The boat went through the lights at needles family drags once at 103 on 7 pistons. So... i'm going to assume it was over 100.
Seriously; back in the day... Like, this was in 1978!

[mbrown2]

As a passenger 159 in Blings Nortech 36...we had more but steering is probably important at those speeds..:)

I took a ride in the refirbished Agitator 32' Skater. At 140 MPH the boat felt like it was on a rail. Cruising it did some hopping and porpoising. On the sticks at 100 MPH and on the boat was happy. :)

[Chewy Lewis]

My father in law has the DCB 32 with the Teague 1100's and 6's... i've been @ 6000rpm @ 157mph,and the rev limiters are @ 6400, it's an easy 165 mph boat. Thats enough for anyone. Does Lifeline make a diaper?????

[neverfastenuff]

nice. any pics what gear ratio?

[Chewy Lewis]

1.29

[INSman]

149 in Kroozin's 368 Skater and it was rediculously comfortable. Same boat ran in excess of 175 in Mead. Damn, I miss that boat :(

[jackpunx]

I need a bigger boat:rolleyes:

[Jbb]

:p

[Havasu Hangin']

I've gone 67.3 MPH...
...verified by the ultra-accurate water-pickup speedo.

[Rexone]

:idea: 135 in a 21' boat ?? then you might hold the record for the worlds fastest 21, which I believe was held by the guy that drove the Cheyene 21 (126+), he died I beleive.
Avilas 21 has been the tall side of 145 I believe.
I've been 62 on kill twice now.

What's the fastest you been while seated backwards and watching a skier? And who was the skier?

[Phat Matt]

I think it was just shy of 130mph. It was a 32 DCB with Teague 800's.

[Rexone]

What's the fastest you been while seated backwards and watching a skier? And who was the skier?
Probably been 100+ quite a few times with various skiers over 25 years although 80's & 90's are much more the norm regardless of what they tell you. ;) That's still quite fast on a water ski going over bumps n shit.
Only the top skiers will run 100+ for any length of time. Parker is very fast first lap as were many of the lake races when the water was good.

[airpacker]

145 in a Nor Tech 43 supercat with 1075's and it seemed slow compared to 125 in a race prepped 19 stv river rocket with a 380 hp s3000.
Of course, compared to Ken Warby, we are all just a big bunch of posers:)

I have a 26 AO also. Been 100+ many times. Thats plenty fast enough for me.:D :D

[seanv]

well,riden in a 21 advantage sport cat at 105:eek:
drove my 25 daytona to 118:D very nice ride!!!
and, so far i've driven my 31 aoDCB to 123 in summer heat. i did pull off the power to be safe around traffic. i would hope to see 125-130 in havazoo this winter:D :eek:

[Ted T]

Last week as a passenger in my 30 Daytona with Arneson ASD 7's and 1050hp, my mechanic friend drove it to 144 at 6000 rpm, felt like it would pull 7000 but we are still in early testing stage. Props are way too small but it felt solid and handled flawlessly. They are merc 16 x 35 five blade merc cnc
Last season I was a passenger in the same mechanics own 1997 32 Skater with twin 950hp mercs and six drives at 145. It feels fast in boats this length but handling was great

[cyclone]

19' Daytona, 151 mph (three times). 44' MTI 165 mph.
Get Real...got any more pics of the Daytona? i'd like to see/hear more about it. thanks.

[ClownRoyal]

176 on 46' twin turbine Skater. Still had more throttle left.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/176mph.jpg

[cyclone]

i've been 152 mph as a passenger with Jim Wilkes driving an Eliminator Daytona. Not real fun being a passenger.
speed is nice but who's got a boat that accelerates quickly?
I've driven my 19' Ultra Shadow 127 mph but that's not nearly as fun as how quickly i can get there.
It'll run the 1/4 mile in 8.7 seconds and i'm working on knocking that time down several tenths in the next month or so.

[Keith E. Sayre]

Fastest Top Speed for me: about 155 mph in Byron Ashleys Nortech called
Phat Cat.
Fastest in my boats: In 1997 driving my 19' Eliminator Flattie with a blown
468 with about 700 hp. don't know how fast, but it would leave my Schiada
at 105 mph hard. I have the videos! 2 blade 15" X 11 1/2" with 39 gears
spinning about 6800! Maybe 108 or 110 mph?
Sitting backwards: About 1995 or 1996, a friend of mine sat backwards
face to face with another friend in the above mentioned flattie while we
raced "Bling" in his 24' Eliminator Daytona with a Carson Brummett turbo
motor. It was a rough day and my buddy just sat there with a big grin
on his face and took it.
The 21' Schiada in my avatar runs between 103 mph and 105 mph with
a blown and innnercooled 588 inch Chevrolet making about 1000 with
a 14-71 on top. 39 gears and a 3 blade 15" X 12" Tom Black Precision Prop.
The Racecrafters 25' Talon with 1500hp in it with a #6 drive. Somewhere
in the mid 20's and it got there quickly. Coolest boat I've ever driven.
It's for sle again too!!!!! $85,000 with fresh pontiac headed engine, #6 drive,
Huge Lysholm screw blower,. etc etc etc.
I love going fast!

[obnoxious001]

What's the fastest you been while seated backwards and watching a skier? And who was the skier?
When I went to Australia 2 years ago for the Southern 80 ski race, I was trusted to ride in Mike Dominguez' "Blown Budget" at 114 mph on GPS, pulling TWO skiers, Brett Dominguez and Jamie Oliver. Part of the time I was standing up to see them over the spray from the boat!
Unfortunately, the V drive broke during the race, when it appeared that they were poised to set a new record.

I pulled Marshall O'Keefe in my Vector at a Clearlake marathron in '99. He missed his start got up and passed them all to take 1st place mens open. We never dropped below 90mph for almost an hour.
