Hello everyone. My name is Ken Lowe. I live in Porterville Ca, and just joined the group. My boat is a 26ft 1996 Obsession Tunnel. I call it a Pickle fork. i bought it stock but it isn't stock now. I completely redid the motor taking out the EFI and doing a blower direct injection dual Quick fuels. It was a 502 but it is somewhere around a 510 now. I had two different people use the GPS on their phone this Memorial day weekend clocking me at 104mph. That's with four people, anchor, stereo equipment that includes two 10 inche piles and amp. backseat and engine lid lots of weight. I bet i can get atleast 110 to 120mph without the weight. Anyway i love my boat. I will try to attach some pictures. 20140523_182208.jpg 20150814_140057.jpg 20141116_081419.jpg 20141116_081419.jpg Not sure this is what supposed to happen. I don't see the pictures.

Is that an obsession vortex? I had a friend with one of those. I like the trailer too.


Here in NM everyone calls both my boats "pickle forks".

It's actually a eliminator Daytona 24 which was licensed to obsession to make to cater to the east coast market. The relationship went south after a few years and eliminator sued and got the molds back.

When I had it it had a procharged 502, trailer was cool and unique but Heavy as all hell

It's not a jet. It's a In board Outboard. I'm running about 900Hp so i had to go to Teague for a new outboard.
