VERY impressive speed!! Would like to see a picture of the boat at that speed with a slow shutter speed


Wow! Got the attention from the V bottom Super fast guy south of the border, thanks :D

Ha I dont know about all that but when you posted that 117 number, before I heard it was fake you had me scrambling. Good to know there are other guys out there that like running v bottoms fast. Heard a quote at Jasper that made perfect sense to me "drag racing is for the guys that dont have the balls to hold them wfo for long enough to really stretch its legs." Thats my luck on the camera guy, hate it when that happens. Regardless congrats on a BIG number!

What blows me away is that this is with a BIG gearcase. It needs a 2.5 sporty. Then the numbers would even impress Yammer! LOL.

I honestly think that this boat has more but where do you stop :shock: ... Made several passes well over 112 and each time I had to get out of it because of my helmet wanting to fly off. 114mph and still pulling before I ran out of safe running space... had to turn lol.
James, I am not sure I want to let you put a new top speed/ stain on my boat just yet lol :shock:

I am not so sure that the sportmaster isnt helping the boat run that speed (bigger ski to ride on) with the big motor. I know I run a modified sporty and contribute that to helping carry my barge. I thought the 3 liter and 2.5 sportys were the same diameter and close to the same length.

That may be true... But those big sporty's look HUGE from behind. The titus sporty of 2.5 case with sporty guts...
