no jack plates, no special race boats,must be stock just like in the showrooms,no special fuels and all the seats like it has in showroom as well.
if you put your 59ci merc on a phantom youl be lucky to get 40mph , the boats are totaly different to lake boats,these phantoms run offshore and have been winning world titles since the early 1970's.
Now your getting 53mph with a 60hp, yet are 6 miles an hour slower than a 2 cylinder 30hp on a sheet of plywood knocked up in the woods then given a epoxy coat to make it go super fast .
seems like a good few records will go as soon as you all take these boats to a record run place.
Get a local sherrif of the river to check your speeds,if he ratifies them im sure youl get sponsorship from mercs to
run the nationals.
