Here is a pre-lim pick of his paint job. It will have Mark Kinser 1200's. Waiting on 1 more cooler from whipple last I heard.

Full stagger and 6's like yours????
And what are they hoping for top end? Won't that be the highest powered SC out there except for turbonator (which I can't seem to find anywhere)? And interior/cabin. Full blown normal luxery?
Staggered and 6's. It could potentially run to about 120. I think it should hit around 110 without too much work. It won't have as much power as the old turbinator (i think he had 1450's), but is should run and handle with that boat. And yup, it'll have a full cabin and interior with all of the luxury!
110+ mph water condo? thats awesome!
I forgot, but there was a guy in Michigan or Ohio (Fred Cerne I believe) who had a 43 (previous hull, but it was the twin step) and he had gellner 1200's side by side on 6's (wet sumps and crescent lowers though...) and I think that got up to 114 or so..... So another baseline to go from.
Yes Fred's boat ran 114 mph with my 1200's with the side by side wetsump 6's. Based in Cleveland,Ohio.
One motor is on dyno now, working on dialing it in, having a fuel delivery issue that we are going to work on tonight, will let you guys know later. If I knew how to add pictures I would put some of the motors for viewing.
Still waiting on the other cooler, they called one day last week but have not answered a return call or email since.
Where is the boat going?
I've met and been in Fred's boat I think. He owned a Sunoco distributorship or some thing like that? Think he was selling his BT and getting a Nor Tech but that was like 10 years ago (around last F2 race on Lake Erie time frame).
I was riding with a buddy in a BT on race weekend Key West Poker Run when we blew a drive. Fred loaned us his truck and trailer to send someone back to Lauderdale for a spare drive, then come get the boat, put the drive on and tow it to KW.
forgot to add- nice boat!! Not a flat deck or and I seeing the rendition wrong?
Side by side with extended cockpit would be the ultimate IMHO. Give us some stuff on the speed/handling/etc but all that real estate in the cockpit is awesome!
I will see if this works.
Still having fuel delivery problems, changing to another style fuel pump,
Motor starts great and idles nice,
I have a few longer videos ones but ware to big to upload.
Picture was from several months ago before all plumbing done
What body of water will it reside on?
Kinser has his own dyno, he does everything from start to finish. He is did the machine work and the technical aspects, I fabbed the brackets, plumbing, wiring, and the put this and we will try and take that off we will do this instaed work.
Boat will be at LOTO - 2MM of the Big Niangua
Some pix of the Instagator next to Spikers Bad Ass ride. I walked thru it and was amazed at the difference between my cabin and the new one. Also, loved the MM throttles, nice looking.
Looks good. Is the boat new? I have a 96 430sc Took off my 3A' and installing dry
sump 6's. Gimbles on, hoping to have engines back in next week and in Fl. by end of year to test.
What gear ratio are you going to use???
Anybody have a picture of the painted engine compartment, Bob is in the stone ages with a camera. I have not seen it since it was done.
I got a set of 1.42, Let you know how they work out
can not wait to see it in loto
Any more pics of the boat?
Stopped by to BT on the way to a wedding - a few pictures
A few more
another
Spiker, How is the outside going to be painted?
The first post by Saxman shows a preliminary will be real close to that
Are you doing anything out the rear for heat relief of the bilge for such large power? I know on OL's and such that they have rear vents. I noticed that you have more than normal side vents, just curious if those will be ample and if the heat / air requirements been considered. T
What is the routing for the tailpipes? Looks like the transom continues upward into a pannel that is not structural.
on the motor with no blower/cooler, it looks like there is a blue cooler attatched to the tail stock of the transmission. Might want to check that for clearance if you haven't already, it may or may not have enough room btw the transom/transom assemblies. The tailstock sticks in a lot further than one would think.
