speed? no B.S.!

[RedRocket]

I'd like to see what kind of speed people are getting with their combo's(GPS only!) if anyone has the balls to say the truth( exaggerating is a common problem where I'm from) hull, hp, altitude, and speed should be enough info for now.
me first: 19' aluminum eagle, 400hp, alt? unknown , maybe 1000'(Shushwap), 78 mph.

[CrazyHippy]

20' Avenger, 200hp Mercury, 1200' high, 3.2mph with the current @ 0 RPM:eek: :D
Same conditions i ran 83.7 @ 5800 RPM
And @ sea level and same prop i hit the rev limiter @ 6100 RPM (no GPS though)
BJH

[RedRocket]

oops, guess I should have said it is a jet, I was going to post in just jets but thought this could get interesting with other drives as well.

[Kim Hanson]

Thats it, I like to cruise around 70-80..I will GPS it this summer, there is alot more in this " OB "....V-Drive it's the same, not even a speedo in it...I will do both, " OB " will kick-ass bad for speed, HST HydroStreams move.........( . )( . )......Top speed on the HydroStream Top Gun's is around 125mph! I have a way bigger engine than his:cool:

[Roland the Fisherman]

86, Skeeter with a 135hp Johnson 106mph (with the current of course).

[STV_Keith]

'92 STV Pro Comp Ski. With Merc 2.4 Bridgeport EFI, 97.5 GPS. That was in Havasu, where it's 450' above sea level in fresh water. Should go better with the 2.5 I'm building now.
Bare hull is ~850# and I guess about 1400 with fuel, anchors and ready to go. I'll definitively weigh it when it's back together for this season.

'77 CVX-16, '89 XR-4, fresh water, 2100' ASL, 72 mph GPS

All that and you ar'nt even going to show up to hand out the spankings.:D Also you forgot to mention the 300hp squeeeze bottle you run.:eek:

[Jetboatguru]

It sucks not being able to go to the BBSP. Would have loved to have gone but we are racing that weekend. The 130mph was without the bottle but I don't think it will run any faster with it. Looks like the whackas will dominate again once again. Maybe someone could mail me a rubber chicken?

My HST weighs around 1500-1600lbs.....Boat is 900 and the engine is close to 600:eek: ..........( . )( . ).........4 people in boat and full cooler( 100lbs) I'am looking at around 2000 lbs. and still will hit a 100+:cool:

[77charger]

93 eliminator open bow 350 mag 58-60 at 4800 depending on the conditions 60 is the max with optimum cond.57-58 is avg with 2-3 people with all gear
All runs done with near full gas and normal daily gear.it aint a race boat but a cruiser with stereo etc,
Other boat 114mph iin 9.32seconds i only floored it for the 1/4 mile but if i did like an outboard for a 1 mile it might hit 456mph:D :D

[RedRocket]

is salt water slower or what? because it's more dense? jus' curious

[STV_Keith]

Salt water has more bouyancy, so it's faster...and you're usually at "sea level".
Hey 77, do you think that thing would stay together for a mile of WOT? :p

[Kindsvater Flat]

72 Kindsvater Runner 440 Chrysler, low 80's
All I know its almost 3500lbs with the trailer.

[You Te]

96 Rapid Crap Riot, a heavy LAKE BOAT, with a 2.5 and tons of notrous, it runs a good solid 80 MPH with a top end prop. It's some what slower with a drag prop 68 MPH but much quicker.
Wow Jetboatguru your boat is really fast I guess I'll mail you the rubber chicken.

Longer than yours can:D :D Without blowin the motor.Is yours almost ready?

[STV_Keith]

The 2.4 wasn't fast enough, so I'm building a 2.5...but the 2.4 is still in the garage in running condition.

[77charger]

oh i see!Same deal here the 427 is being yanked and a new motor put in i dont know the size i just drive the boat all i know is that we are going to go faster.From the little i know about the egg beaters is that the 2.5 is the shit(motor to have):) due to the hi rev capabilities

The old Carrera 20.5 Elite, closed bow 454I/O on Havsu, empty boat near empty tanks 64 on GPS (water was glass). Another day with similar weather, fully loaded and more people on 4" wind blown chop I got 67 on GPS. Go figure.

well 4 stroke
intake(1 stroke)
comp(2nd stroke)
power(3rd stroke)
exhaust (4th stroke)
2 stroke
intake compression(1 stroke)
power exhaust(2nd stroke)
4 stroke motors have a separate crankcase where it gets its oil from while a 2 stoke has a dry crankcase which gets its oil from the mixture in the gasoline. that is one reason they seem to smoke alot
But i am sure you are probably still trying to figure out how you burnt an intake valve in your o/b:D :D :D

[SUI-CY-COLE]

hey charger,,,not to say you dont know but its bascially like this....suck,squeeze,bang,blow!!!!!!!!kinda like the avatar....hey kim-boy and ob...get together you guys just might get along...i got a 23 foot glastron with a bbc and a panther jet in it for ya...kinda like the one from jame bong movie but it dont jump waterfalls...but it does go a 100 mph.....................hehehehehe..that hundred is for the jet boys, to keep the hopes alive!!!!!!!

Great shot, SO. North Van is nice to look at. :)
That reminds me of the last time I was at Granville Island. A guy in an all black Hydrostream Vector was trying to get out of the channel on plane and he almost flipped it a couple of times on low frequency rollers. It looked harmless enough but his pad was causing some serious problems.

Hi STV _Keith,
Are you making your boat faster? I've got my boat up to 85 MPH it run vareee fast my friend it big block spanker for sure it make big block guy krazeee.:D
You Te

[STV_Keith]

I hope so UT. :) I got a 2.5/260 and JSRE is gonna be doing some work on it shortly. No exhaust ports or anything, just the minor stuff (balance, lighten rods/pistons/pins, stuff block, angle cut reed plate, exhaust chest, etc).

[You Te]

Wow! it sounds like STV_Keith will be a contender at BBSP. I guess it's time for me to load up moe nitrous.:D

I'am getting the blame for this crap also, I bet! I thought I was in realm, till " OB " showed up.....sorry!............( . )( . )........:wink:

Ahhh, don't bother. It's still a heavy lake boat. 1500+# for sure. I'll weigh it when it heads to the water to see, but all that weight makes for slow acceleration. :)

My case i was 2/10ths slower there too.

No Nitrous Yet
Pump: American Tubine/impeller watever gets to 6800/ bowl worked over AT unit. custom nozzle 2.875 to 3.125 id
Just weighed the thing, about the same as last year 1260 lb with me 230 in it. Made some runs late last year with pos gps with 570 hp just under 100 when I would lift. Think I may have the handleing figured out now? Anyhow predictions?

You building a 13 ft for speed or for acceleration?? If you are trying to run over a 100 in a 13 footer, I predict some very bad things happening to you in the near future!!:eek: :eek: Don't know if you remember the Whitecourt race in 2001 when that 13 ft sprint spun out under the bridge and hit a pillar. The guy's daughter that was riding with him and died on impact. That boat ran about 80 - 85 mph. Be very carefull with a boat that length at high speeds. It don't take much for them to change directions real fast.

[bottom feeder]

Jungle Boy
Thanks for post!:D No I am not looking to drive this toy around at 100+ for any distance. This one for the acceleration deal. It works good for this. Thats the reason for the lifting last year. I have no need to hurt anyone. Now see how fast the thing will hit 80s thats better. I know with the motor and pump set up this is a life threating toy if you make it one! People Kill People Boats and Guns dont. I have a wonderfull wife and three girls to look after I am not going to be headline.
Thanks Truly
