55.1 mph with 30 hp mercury

The GPS could be reading a little slow too! Just say'n..

Yeah even depending on the PDOP satellite angles! Maybe a little off either way! But still should be real close

there is a huge distance between a 40hp hot engine and a standard 30hp.
there is also a massive margin between 47mph and 55.1 then onto 59mph.

Now dont forget you were running a gemini race boat neither with almost zero weight compared to a homebuilt plywood boat that dont ride on a v-pad andcertainly aint a screamer.


Htarver talks of his 40hp running fast, yes the 40hp is a 3 cylinder 60hp motor detuned thats in his avatar,not a 30hp twin
massive difference in engines ive had both of them.

The little merc 30 is nothing at all like the 3 cylinder engine,its totaly different and will never produce the power of the triple.

i think the moonshine and jamaican woodbines are causing a lot of hallucinations, its very easy to get carried away
and talk of speed.
If these tin and plywood fishing floats are so fast then why not atleast take them to the races and beat all the mulit-million dollar company's that have spent years to develop fast engines and boats.

im sure with the knowledge of a redneck and the bragging of his cousin, the sst45 boys must be ****ting bricks incase
you turn up and make them all look silly as well.

Ive seen plenty of fast boats and plenty of boats that are so called 50mph boats, but allways an excuse when ive
passed them doing a lot less than 50mph.

Im sure that a 59mph 30hp engine on a home built boat could get you a nice photograph on the back of a
truck or even a spot on the jerry springer show !!!
and imagine how fast its gonna go when it gets some real mods done to it ??????

P.S dont forget to leave grandpa's moonshine alone next time you go out and wrestle the aligators.

Dude Mwhite has a mod 20hp mercury named bones that on a 10 flat bottom boat I would put a paycheck on that will run over 55 mph

[tyst67]

That is sweet

I'd like for phillnjack to come hookup with some of us down here in the south just one time. we would put that world champion race boat on the trailer. 50 mph aint going to get it. i can idle that fast.

Bahahahahahahahahahaha that would be hilarious to see his face!

I am deadly serious
there is no way that engine is screaming at anything like 7 grand.
and no way is that boat doing anything like 50mph in that video.

Now before you start thinking im wrong, take a look at this pic below, its a speed record set in 2009 and still stands today
this fella sold me the prop that made this record ,its a 13 3/4 x 23 pitch running flat out on a e-tec 90
on a phantom 16 powerboat.
Its not a not a toy its serious piece of kit and the speed record is there at a tad under 50mph.
see for yourself

and your trying to tell me that a home made boat with just a 30hp is faster than one of the best racing boats ever made with a 90 -etec on the back !!!!!!!!!

i think your gps is telling you very wrong.
Now also the tiny tac is mainly for go carts where the revs go very high,these are not nmuch good below about 9 thousand revs and even then can be very poor for acuracy.
Get a merc rev counter and get someone with a good workshop gun to calibrate it with.
i would say you revs in that video are around 5300 if your lucky.

I could drag that race boat behind my boat faster than the world record it set

mike let the man lay down in the bottom of the gator boat and hold on to his gps, sometimes u have to prove a point.

I think that is the best way to prove true speed I ever heard .lol.He would probably forget about the gps at about 75mph.
