A buddy got his boat running this weekend... it's a home-made 21' welded aluminum with a 454 / 8-71 / intercooled / bravo drive (715 h.p. on dyno test)... initial testing (after a short break in) shows a stable 85 mph @ 5000 rpm(gps) and there's still lots of throttle. The picture's not so good but they were a ways away from us (thankfully) and travelling a little fast :) This is definately not my kind of ride but I can appreciate the performance! Wow!

Re: Crazy stuff

He did mention it's hard to see over 50 mph or so... he's a little on the crazy side (can you guess by the boat he built?)... I wouldn't expect him to get a helmet any time soon.
