Reply With QuoteI ran up to 30 psi and the boat ran 119 mph on a stalker radar gun with gps backup.
Pretty damn impressive!
I owned this boat for a while, purchased it from GT marine and then did the motor in my shop. I ran up to 30 psi and the boat ran 119 mph on a stalker radar gun with gps backup. I had the open "rams horn " exhaust. I always ran c12 or C16 in it and it was really a great hull, zero issues other than breaking a set of gears. It looks like it may be the same motor, I ran .904 diameter lifters with a ultradyne solid cam, Crower rods, ross pistons, Callies crank,jesel rockers,belt drive,dart heads,dual h2o pumps,14 qt pan,and 50 % gears.
It used to have a fancy balsa floor but it was changed to paint when it chucked a prop ear and ripped the strut off the bottom, it was repaired with zero issues.
I am happy to see it is still in great shape as I have a lot of my sweat in that build. Lots of luck to the new owner...

Awesome...that was a steal...and a quick sale...
Should have priced it for 60K...that seems to be going rate on these Vectors...
Hell of a boat...
How about you ever been to 6k??????? and he's got a picture
I ran it to 7100, with the Black 2 blade. :devil: :devil: 6 lbs is nothing for that motor, the boat does not even start to run till 20 psi.....

Vector looks familiar, congrats on sale. Do you know who owned it originally, just curious.

I think it was Bob Stark's old boat Mike. I raced behind Bob's boat a couple of years in the early 90's, might be wrong but colors look right.
