how fast can an svl run ?

**imco offshore** · 10-30-2009 02:18 PM

today is beautiful out ,,80 deg,,,,3-5 mph,,,,1ft chop ,,,tampa bay no sun, so what do you think is going to be the final speed of a svl when all,s said and done? there is no river currents or tail winds in the bay !

LIFE IS GOOD!

me neither it,s way too loose, my boat floats around , in a general direction of foward. the fastest i,v ever went on my own is 90 ish maybe 91 after that its too scarey.

I just pulled up the numbers from one of your cohorts and it looks like almost 100......

not even superman can run that boat alone,,,,unless u put in a foot throttle, and trim on the steering wheel. ask rick tremell,and about three others ,who tried to crash one,,

You forget I can drive with one hand.

**THEJOKER** · 10-30-2009 08:53 PM

I drove Solarized #33 the entire Pro Series in 2001 w/ the big motor. It would hit the century mark easily.

**imco offshore** · 10-30-2009 09:16 PM

was it easy to handle at that speed? what drive ? #4 what prop? and actually i,m really proud of all the svl guys for the speeds we are running with a stock 525 infront of a bravo drive, it took a lot of homework to go this fast, most people who want to go faster just build mountain motors,,,,, we had to figure it out , inside a small box. and it seems were making another leap foward ! so i was wondering where is the wall? thanks brian i remember your guys boat,

**Dunbar 104** · 10-30-2009 09:27 PM

Best race speed still in the 91-93 range. Kilo I still think 100 is possible on the perfect day.

**DAREDEVIL** · 10-30-2009 09:35 PM

100 NO PROBLEMO

**imco offshore** · 10-30-2009 09:40 PM
