No pics but my Stratos will get up in the mid 70s and a friend of mine has a Allison that will break 100. Not too bad for a bass boat.

Define fast, please?
80+ mph on the water is a pretty damn good pace. A little 8 foot PWC going 65 mph is fine on smooth water hit a wake or two, then it becomes much more interesting. |

Pictures? Post em up. And I'm interested to know how fast it can go. you need to define some more things... lake boat? offshore boat? etc any idiot can buy an overpowered bass boat and get 65kts on a flat lake. doing that offshore on bluewater requires about 10 times the money. my brother has a zillion HP Donzi and it is hella fast, but at speed it also makes you realize that you are 0.25 seconds away from blunt force trauma death. ar-jedi

No doubt, offshore is the big league. And that's what I'm hoping some fellow boat owners share here. But I still have massive respect for the hot rodded bass guys that can hit 60-80 on lakes in some bad ass sleek bass hunters, too. |

Somebody please post the gif of the dork that decides to go full throttle across a wake and ends up looking like a crash test mannequin. Not to mention wiping out all of his cohorts.

My first boat was a 16' super lite jet boat with a 455 Olds bored .120 and used chevy 454 rods making it 483 CID. Lots of Modello Olds parts , Jacuzzie jet drive , 0 to 73 mph within 100 yards . Then bought a 18' Crownline that would hit 53 with a speed prop. Sold both and got a 24'8" Crownline (248) and it hits 61 mph with the tight chop on the water. Fixing to drop the hammer on a new 21' Tri toon pontoon with a big Merc on the back. I'm getting old and don't like working on them like I used too. I'm a mechanic and did all mantainace and engine and drive work on my boats . Everyone bitches about how a boat is a money pit, but all mine never left me stranded . Take care of your shit and keep it in good working order and you won't have problems , at least in my experiences.

850 Holley double-pumper sitting on an Edelbrock Torker 2-0 intake, sitting on an LS6, hooked to a Panther jet drive. ~65mph or so. It was a blast, and the fish cops hated it. Sold it a while back, and now, I get to stand on the fucking shore. Yay me.

Center consoles now reach 70 mph... I got ejected at 55. Month in bed, year plus to recover. Have run a couple go fast types like Magnum, Scarrab in the 75-80 range. Hell... The 70' Sportfish I ran last summer tops out at 40 mph.

Buddy of mine has one of those drag race boats.
It runs 220-250 mph on the water. Stupid fast. I've been near it with it out of the water.. Never ridden in it, one seater, but I've watched it race. Crazy fast. |

I had a 38 foot Larry Smith Scarab flat-deck with twin staggered 540's pushing 17.25 x 29 cleavers. Hull was Kevlar/carbon fiber with D-ring bulkheads up front, no cabin.
