to not get beat by the bass boats
ten years ago my bass fishin' buddy had a "bullet" boat that would do over 90 mph. I can't catch him after about 100 yards.
I have raced alot of bass boats and the day I get beat is the day I would put a bigger engine in. :crossx: :crossx: Has not happend yet. :220v:
those boats can really haul the mail.
Yes they may have the speed but they lack far behind the power and cool factor of a jet, plus they just sound gay
Dad & I outran them for years back in the 70's & 80's. Back then, about 70+ was more than plenty. Today, I think 80 would beat 95% of them.
The most fun has always been the aprox 20-footers with 300 HP strapped on them, claiming they can run 75 or so. We'd line up, he'd slam the throttle wide open, and WE'D BE GONE! While he's trying to get that 20-something pitch prop to plane him out, riding solo, Dad & I would be GONE, run about 300 yards ahead of him, and turn arround, then go back to see what was holding him up.
DId this very thing to a guy on Grand Lake back about '82 or so, without the Nitrous, on the stock about 280 actual HP, back to back runs, then we headed in to make lunch.
Bass boats have always been Lowrider's main meal. Have never been outrun by one that wanted to run.
First race I ever drove was a bass-boat, and I had 2 big ole' boys in the boat with me (dad and a childhood friend of his, Bob Smith). Cruising from an island to the shore on Kaw Reservoir a basser rolled up behind us and waved thet he wanted to wind them up & run them, dad yelled "Well, beat him then", to me, and we did, over about 1.5 miles running flat out. Was about an 18'er and was running solo.
