Default RE: 68 mph from a weedy engine

o.k. guys just got my proboat marine gease in the mail today. pulled the shafts out of all my boats, cleaned and greased. also cleaned the bottom of my hulls and waxed. my earlier claims of 175mph on my blackjack55 were probably off a little because of friction. boats are loaded in the truck and i am headed to the lake. suspect numbers near 200mph now with the clean hull and lubed shaft. i'm not sure if my camera will pick up such speeds with the shutter speed and all, but if i can get the camera to work and zoom out, you will all see the 200 foot rooster and me watering the neighbors grass for them. if not when i get back i will blaim the camera. my numbers are 100% accurate checked by my own special gps that was only sold one time in america along with my boat. what a deal huh.......well i've had my fun going to the lake to see what kind of things i need to do to make them run accurate speeds.

Ok but back to reality now. 200mph well I'll say you wont be a hair over 195mph unless you run 300 octain gas.

Hey guys you can borrow this motor if it fits it will do 100mph at least when you get that under control we will step up to the Lamborghini and aim for 200ft rooster tails at 160mph
Warning they pretty crap on fuel consumption

So that fuel tank in the first photo is just for starting the monster...????

Then you just got to hook up a fuel tanker to run her.????

How much for the engine without the chassis ?

All in all, this person still hasn't beat some of the others that I've seen on the 'bay. Two that really come to mind is the 70 MPH Radio Shack boat that a woman was selling because it was too fast for her swimming pool (real speed, about 3 MPH if you did the easy math) and the 200 MPH Prather K&B .21 outboard powered outrigger that was coated with a special floatation material, micro-balloons!

i just went through the gas/nitro listings on ebay for the fun of it and it has spread like the ebola virus. anything that is gas hits at least 70-80mph. these people should keep it real if they have any chance of selling their stuff. or selling it to someone who knows. there is also a pawn shop selling a boat "scarab" on ebay with a weedwacker motor that is clearly a nitro and people are bidding away.

I hope no one REPORTs HIM for MISLEADING TITLES or KEYWORDS

Be a shame if e-bay again cancelled this auction because he again had too many people reporting his listing violations

When running this boat is capable of throwing a rooster tail 20 feet in the air for about 100 feet long.
When I read this quote of his it doesn't tell me that the rooster tail is a hundred feet long at one point in time...It reads more along the line of it throws it 20 feet tall, while being driven about 100 feet!
