Geoo needs to chime in for the official number - but I think he is around 110 eek!

[GEOO]

I know of one 18 that gps'd from 104 to 110 depending on the Air temp, current/tide etc. wink

Matty, I'll be at the Fall Picnic.

Mine at 65 is fast enough i can't imagine any faster in this boat unless it is flat calm. Jeff

How may I ask, do you keep a vary deep v from chime walking at that kind of speed, or did you make a pad for it to ride on?

[GEOO]

Pokester,
Here's a link to a video of the 18 running. Click on the picture to start.

Awesome video Geoo. How fast was that run? Do you have video from the cockpit at high speed?

Thanks. That's cool. Please be careful..

Wow wee George!

I just viewed the video myself, I had to register with fast boats to see it. Now i've got to remember more code&pass names. Anyway what do you have a 490 deg throttle rotation? The rpm's kept coming & coming going higher and higher, just when I thought you were maxed there was still more throttle to go."Damm I loved it!"
Now hopefully your insurance company never see's that video, your insurance agent will be looking for a new job for writting you that policy. eek!

Let me see? bungee jumping or the quickest ride ever? Four beers and one ride please. :p :p

Geoo, what type of engine rpm's were you turning in the video and what approx. HP is the engine producing? It looks like your min. docking speed would possibly set a new speed record also.

You know you keep raising the bar for the rest of us.

THere are some videos from AOTH II from in cockpit... search the archives...

It was a record setting run at the time, and it was a thrill to be in "Mighty Mouse" when it happened. (back seat no grab rails while holding a camera... lets go again Geoo :D )

98.4mph (http://www.verd.com/photos/Cumberland_KY_02/vids/98_4mph.MPG)

Seems so slow to say because it isn't over the century mark, which of course Geoo is running now. Geoo... we need to make a new one soon and update the files.

I saw the vidio. Very cool. I've been in a laser at 92 mph and it was nothing like your ride. It looks like a hand full. a foot throttle might be a idea or a small throttle man. Are you the only one going over 100. what about the 22's

[Stix Magill]

BVERD,

Thanks for the video. That's a trip.

Wow...
