Do You Guys Have A Name For Your Boats?

[orangebeast]

Some see 50 some see 60 some see 70+ mph

Just depends on your boat and motor set up, i seen a stock 40 merc with absolutely nothin done to it runnin between 53 and 56 mph with a 20 pitch clever on a 13ft weldcraft

It appears you basically are a drag racing club with very few rules except maximum of three cyls.

You're missing some potential competitors by excluding the smaller four cylinder Mercurys. There's still a lot of those motors around and they are fairly low priced.

Forty years ago we had 44 C.I. Mercurys on 16 foot john boats with closed exhaust running over 50 MPH here in Quincy, IL.

No one has yet answerred Ron's question about what you call your type or class of racing.

We have many different types of boat racing represented on this site, and not all of them are represented by major sanctioning bodies.

I raced in a "wildcat club" that was patterned after Alky-Pro division. We didn't run nearly as fast as the Pro division, but we still had fun!

Obviously, you guys are having fun too!

We'd like to know more about your type of racing.

Who knows, some one just might like to come join you

Trouble is Gene, you and I think of four bangers like everyone knows about them.....Realistically, these probably haven't seen a four banker on the river in 15 years......

I'd bet, if we showed up with a 44, they'd let YOU run.....Notice I said, "YOU"...as I ain't racing those guys with no handle....My brain works in too many directions already....Me and handles don't get along since the time I dumped Jimmy Hauenstein in Gun Lake......

Hey if it run then bring it one day, we welcome any and all, just now a days once you get past a 3 holer , you start gettin into the 100hp and larger, i mean there are a few 90 yams runnin with us but we are still able to take our little 60 hp motors and give them a run they want forget about

we had a 44 on a alum. mod flat about 20 sum odd years ago with a 1to1 quickey
,,was running 76 on a keller when the unit came off , was not good!

had two horns sounded good
Mr Gene if you brought one of those Quncieys I would line up against it just to see it .
would still be like (beating up your sister)
we don't really have enough water to go much faster.
, I have not seen a 44 on the river in a long time, but we will run him if he comes.



PS: I am with you Mr Ron the tiller is scary.

I dont think that the smaller four cyl mercury are excluded, u just dont see any one running them around here, but if there r some that wont to run them they are welcome too by all means.
