I've seen Nitrous pull the threads out of the outdrive bellhousing. The GPS would read 68,69,70 push button, 79, 80, 81 on a 22 BB alpha

Yea nitorus is a fickle thing on a boat but not imposible to run
Super V CGS Ferocious
A hidden Nitrous system? now thats cool
Ozarks Shootout years ago
Tailwalking is fun. not very fast though
There is a certain spot on the course that is right in front of a cove, that always has a "hole" that is well known by anyone who has ever ran the Shootout. It is just before the radar guns, where you are at top speed and trimmed to that "inth" degree. then you hit the hole. No coincidence that the local photographer is always set in the same spot every year.
After 4 years of testing and beating on the orginal shorten Alpha with little over 640 hp, and a few hard nitrous passes, and lending it to differnt people so they could try it. I final had a upper gear failure. A part of the gear tooth broke off and took ever thing else out. Over the winter I came up with some new stuff for the upper and lower that should increase strength by 25%. Im going to up the HP this year to over 700 hp to see if it will handle it. Should be interesting.
ours in better days...
Here are some pics of my old 22. It was known as the Joker back in the day. Mobilemercman would have a lot of info on this boat. He was the guy who rigged it. The boat lives in the Bahamas and was for sale on OSO but have not seen it for a while. This boat was awesome and took everything I put in thru and then some.
I would love to have it. That will always be on my funnest boat list. If I could get a hold of it now I would put Lathams power steering in it.
When it was new in the late 80's 80mph was fast. That little boat surprised many people as it went past them in the bay.
Ohhhhhh, the good old days.
I could tell stories for hours about that boat..... Relax...
And I have wanted to hear those stories. In Lake Cumberland you will have to tell me a few.
