Re: found the motor I want for my toon
178 MPH!, someone has balls!, I would assume these are not your average family 'toons. I guess if it moves, someone will want to try and make it move faster!
I assume ordinary pontoons would not hold up to the pressure? Does anyone have other pics of this 'shootout'?
I guess my posting was a little misleading.
At Lake of the Ozarks, they run a Top Gun Shootout for bragging rights for the fastest boat on the lake. Entries come from all over the US including Canada running everything from jet skis to turbine-driven off shore boats. As a result there are several dozen classes. Two years ago they even ran everything from the Miss Budweiser unlimited hydroplane to a local cruise ship. The cruise boat won his class (BFB) at 5 mph. The hydroplane won the Top Gun class at 200+ (I forget the actual speed). Last year Dave Callan won in his turbine at 209 (he has since sold that boat and didn't run this year).
I do love to see the pontoons run and this year a triple log Odyssey with twin merc 300's(?) ran the 90mph.
The top gun this year was a V-hull unit, not a 'toon.
Sorry for the confusion. :redface:
It outran some Baja's, Skaters, etc.
