Which 41 is/was the fastest of all time?
What kind of power/drives? What kind of setup?
I guess it would make sense to say pleasure or race.

05-14-2009 03:52 PMNot exactly sure, but, I think it was the J.H. Electric boat. kidapache, on here, use to own it. He has owned several of the light and fast 41's.

I remember reading back along time ago on the other site that it may have been the boat Sean Stintson was towing down the road with the GPS on..............

So Star chaser is the fastest at 104.6mph?
Have any ever run more than that? Someone mentioned somehting in the teens..... which boat would that be?
I am getting a ride on a 41 (so I was told by the owner) this summer and apparently the boat will run 100mph with Chief 1000's and 6's.
These are my favourite v-bottms by far so Im always interested in learning more.

05-15-2009 10:34 PMI dont think mine is the fastest but with equal power it would be close.MM boat with all most the same hp runs the same as mine with #6 640hp will go 84mph with about 750 92mph 890hp 104.6 this is with the same set of propellers. If i took the fresh water cooling off it would save 300lbs of weight and some power to run rec pumps.

05-15-2009 03:39 PMErics boat pulled away from me a few times when I was running 60-70 mph in the NYC poker run like I was standing still. It's a runner.
BTW, some folks are claiming the new 54' Apache is running 120 mph. Can't imagine that's realistic though.

05-16-2009 08:40 PMstar chaser so far is the fastest natural asp boat. Eric has the set up. E did you set the drive height higher then when we sold it to you?
but really who cares there are 38 bad boys, fountains, OL doing 113 with 525s and 87 gas in 6 footers as well.
if you want something historic / timeless/et al. do you really want to be hammering on a older hull over 100s in some real swell? prob not.
