There are boats about that size in Alaska that run the rivers that have a ton of power. I don't recall exactly how many outboards it had but I remember being impressed it had a thousand horsepower. They have to stay up to speed through parts of the gravel bars where the water isn't deep enough to float the boat if it comes to a stop.

How's that? Hell, for $180k you could buy a couple outdated tour busses or RV's and tint the windows and traffic drugs all while looking like a typical wealthy family on a nice vacation.

60mph and starting out only sitting a foot out of the water is scary fast. At WoT only the back 3' of my 18' jet would be in the water. Hitting a wake and launching into the air was always a fun and rough landing.
A friend of mine had a 454 blown on nitrous jet boat with a drop snoot. The ass at 75 MPH hit the bottle, and I just about shit my pants. He said we hit a 100, I was to busy holding on to the oh shit handle praying that I lived. I will say the blower 2 feet behind your head is an awesome sound. mah Tahiti when I had it. Balanced and blueprinted 455 Olds, MSD ign, 650cfm carb on a Edelbrock intake, Crane custom ground cam, roller rockers, roller lifters. :) Attachment 199722 I am so glad I sold that money pit, and bought another Miata. |

I didn't give them permission to use video of my boat!!! I also wish they didn't put the music so fucking loud over the sound of my engines. Why do people always think I want to hear their poor taste in music instead of the subject of the video. Pisses me off.
