So the hole serves several purposes. It allows that cavity to fill when first going in the water and obviously to drain when out. It also somewhat acts as a thermostat for the gearcase. If that area were to stay plugged, no water would pass by the forward (oiled) portion of the case. It would...

You would be surprised how much you gain when you get all that drag out of the water.

Here is a better look for you at that ultra high X. I set up my boats ( this is my 24 Twister ) a bit different than most. The gearcase is completely welded shut ( exception is a single threaded 1/8” hole for priming / drainage) and I have my water go through a strainer with a pressure relief...

Scott-That is not an Argo. That is a 24’ Twister . Got your message, give you a call later today.

Dales Skater came out great! Sorry Im going to miss the gathering in a couple weeks. Was looking forward to coming out and meeting / riding with a few of you guys. Damn work... I’ll be off again Sept 20th :)

Just South of me here in Florida. Lake George area.

As you probably know, I purchased the boat from Joe A. at DBR. I believe he had a healthy X on it before I got but never actually let me in on what it had run. But I agree, with a real strong X it could be unreal.

You hit the nail on the head. It was the whole reason I searched them out. The visceral experience of something lightweight and fast like an STV or Mirage but with the ability to stay on the river and not get put on the trailer when it gets snotty is what I wanted. Ive had bigger twin...

Looked at flights today. Very good chance I’ll make it out. Seems easy enough....

They are both very similar as far as ride / speed. In fact -both performed identically which in the end Im confident was simply a limiting factor of rpm, gear ratio and prop however.... The Argo feels very well planted when your ready to let it eat. As you can see in the video above, very minor...

The DBR mods I typically do are: ECU flash Lightweight flywheel Tuner 7lb cf Cowl I would say the combination of weight savings and the ability to overturn the motor up to 6500+rpm are paramount in getting up to the marks I have hit. Basically allowing me roughly 4-6 additional mph if memory...

Not the Argo just left yesterday and the Twister is still in my barn- talks today of doing a 300R on it with the 1.60 gears. Who knows for sure...I had fun breaking in a new 300XS powerhead on the Argo last week. ( that motor was put on the Twister afterwards) Sidenote- hope Im welcome to...

Welded water intakes on gearcase, ultra high X.

Not a drag boat by any stretch but rolls out well. As someone else mentioned above- if the enduro allowed true tunnels things would be interesting to say the least.

Mine ( same boat ) ran 126.... his might, if he has the stones and removes the giant sails ( seats ) out of it.

How is this a “one of one” boat ? He was the third person to bring one to the US. The other two run the St Johns River in FL and have been doing so since 2014. Minus those hidious high back seats, They did a good job rigging it. Looks good
