Are you kidding me?

CONGRAGULATIONS TO GARY TAYLOR!! Becuase that's what his Orange Howard ran over the weekend!! (Hitting the rev limiter I might add!)

I'm sure he's going to post the details in his section soon, but he already put it up on Hotboat! check it out!

That is flat out HAULING ASS!

Anyone know what the record is for a Bravo Style V-Bottom? I know the Cat record is upwards of 145 if memory serves? I think Eliminator finally took down HTM's record?

It would be interesting to see what the kilo record is?

This boat really free's up nice and rides really flat on the water. It doesnt even budge at WOT,,,,,,,,,,,,seriously.

I think they call the class Mod Vee Supercharged, and the size range is 26-31'. I sent an e-mail to "Poker Runs Amereica" and asked them when their next venue is, and what is the current single engine vee speed record,,,,,,,with no reply yet.
