I just had to post a big thanks to Howard Custom Boats for designing such a great boat, and to Dustin Whipple for your Quad Rotor efi set up. Our new 25 Bullet ran 111 mph on GPS at havasu 2 days ago and is soooooooo fun to drive. My wife even loves it. We are going to have a great boating season with it, and are looking forward to more prop testing and speed runs. I received an unbelievable amount of support with this project and I could not be happier.

Congrats.
What size was the engine? Also what drive did you choose?

HDD :cool:
Nice Job! that is one sweet boat. It was nice talking to you the other day at the shop.
GT, your boat was the white/orage boat at the show right? and you built the motor....that was my favorite boat at the show. Great to hear it ran good.
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, it means a lot. I am just getting used to all of this "on line" stuff so I am not sure how to post a pic, although I have a ton of them on disc, any advise? The motor is a 540 tall deck running 10 lbs of boost, through Dart CNC ported heads. It turns a Teague Platnum Shaft XR with an Imco lower unit. 111 mph at 5800 with a 32 lab. I am out the door right now, but I will post after 6:00 tonight here in cali.
Take care guys

I second that request for pics.
I am curious how much power your engine made at 5800 RPM since that is where it is running.
Sounds like a first rate combination.
You can post them here, really easy just register. web page
Info,
It made 972.5 hp and 882.5 ft/tor at 5800. That is only what we took it to. It was still pulling very hard. I think it will pull up and over 6000 very easily. We were just in shock when we looked down at the speedo and had to stop and cheer!
GT :D
GT,
I am pretty sure this is your rig. I was there with my wife and brother and talked to you for about 30 minutes regarding your build up of the bullett. That was my favorite of the show...Also, if CAT insurance keeps going through the roof, the 25 will be my next boat...w/Quad/EFI of course...again great looking boat. :)
