The V 20 hits 50mph tops, but any faster ?

3 things

1. That guy is ready to roast some marshmellows.

2. I wonder what the insurance carrier would say to that one.

3. What does a gallon of Jet-A run these days.:hide:
 
The heat that comes off the back of him is unreal. I was right behind him coming under the Mantoloking bridge by my house, smelled like i was at the airport. Even in my whaler which would do 60ish I wasn't going to attempt to keep up. Cool boat but glad I don't pay for the fuel!
 
Ok, finally with a couple running pictures. They were taken on the Suwannee, Sat. 3/12/11 Big thanks to Baja and Beefy.

It was running about 60MPH in the pictures. Saw 63MPH light on fuel and cool weather late in the day. Ran 70 miles round trip, fuel burn 1.5 MPG, average speed 45MPH. The Wellcraft ain't got nothing for the crowd I was with but she got lots of comments, I am still proud of her.

RIdge, you hanging with Beefy? Rough crowd there. We need to put another 3.0L on the back to give them some grief

You know Beefy?
Met Beefy and his brother last year at another meet. They are students here in FL and card carrying members of the OMC Club. They give the Merc guys all they want now. If they were properly funded, well lookout. Pretty tame bunch really, a bunch of go fast gearhead types. BTW we could strap 3 - 3.0L Mercs on the back and we wouldn't raise an eyebrow with that crowd.

Thanks NYMACK, the boat has been done for several years. I smile every time someone takes notice. The novelty hasn't wore off yet.

Not to revive an old post.....lol

We hit 60mph GPS on saturday with the steplift v20. Lots more room to go.

Now that is what I am talking about. Lots more room to go. I must have missed the other threads about a stroker chevy powered V. Congratulations, be careful and let me know if you find terminal velocity..:clap::sun::beer:
 
We Americans are not very good on our KM per hour to Miles per hour conversions. 80km/hr = ? miles/hr. I am guessing about 50 mph. Whether 80 km/hr or 50 mph, that is pretty fast. My 1991 V20 cuddy with a 190 h.p. Mercruiser sterndrive only hits about 44 mph.
