That was a great clip thanks for sharing. Those boats are really impressive! Is the wing on the front of the V hulls just for additional lift?

Jeeeeeeeezzzzz......that's NUTZ. As sick as it may sound, I can't help but to think of what one of those 21' tunnels would do with a ZZ572 and a procharger pushing through an E85 carb with about 20 psi.....Now THAT would be INSANE......

Is that endurance racing? What are race speed averages?

100MPH is very common with quite a few running close to 120 and a couple that have been clocked at nearly 130.

Thanks Kev-o, it looks like the ones in the clip are all in the 100+ class.
Is that endurance racing? :idea:

Yes, it is endurance racing. The World race is generaly 500 - 600 miles over 7 days. It is a tough race on engines and boats.

My left hand made it into that one haha
Also how to remove bow canards without getting out of the boat :D
Not alot of sponsorship in this racing 77, doesnt get the media coverage it needs to, and should! I have no clue why its a pretty extreme sport, they put lawn mower racing on tv!?
