Whats that boat in the middle? I like it. Not too big but not too small either.

 

Not in the same league but fast for me. I just drove the boat from Marathon to Miami on Monday.

I like to understress the motors. 33-35K RPM to save fuel. We realized we didn't have nav lights (we were told they worked) so the last 50 miles of water I knew and didn't need to consult the chart. We were racing against the setting sun.

I said "stand and deliver" and she did. Turned them up to 4500 doing 55MPH into a 10-15 wind on the nose made relative wind 65-70. We ran 55 f0r 45 minuites straight

I like Go Fast boats, but since I have a house on a lake for the summer w a 45 mph speed limit, this is better

Hey Josh

Seeing you're from MN, where do you boat at and is the Cigarette your boat? I run a 30 foot Spectre with twin 300 Mercs up on the Whitefish Chain. For skiing, I have a 90 MPH Allison Grandsport.

How do you post pictures?

I see you're Silver so there's no limit on number of pictures you can post.

 

26 foot Baja Outlaw. Blown small block chevy. Good for about 75mph.

 

Here is a pic of ChopPop's old drag boat. SK class racer, Stevens FlatBottom with a 415 Caddy motor. Matchbooked MonkeyPod wood deck. Named the "Exciter". Was sold in the early 80's to the Reno, Nevada area. If you've seen or heard of this boat let me know, I'd like to have it back.

The happiest day of my life was the day I bought my 18' Donzi classic.

The second happiest was the day I sold it.

(image: not my boat, or woman, alas, but both are sort of similar)

I saw a boat like that when I was sailing back in new york a couple years back. Im not really into wood boats but they are very very neat.

 

While I prefer varnished mahogany to yellow gelcoat ....... it's hard to argue with 2700! hp and 130 mph.....

Tritone

 

Beatuiful boats! I love the way the wood shows!

 

thanks james..however a real man's boat should have a multiplicity [min two] of ww1 aero engines !!!

[ok..mebbe a pair of ww2 fighter engines but that's stretchin' it.]
