I rode in one at the 2002 Miami show with Black Jack and Tom and some other peeps. I believe it was 46 with trips. Government Cut was closed because of 9/11 so we had to go down to the next one out. We got on plane too fast and an HS boat stopped us. They just warned us though.
We got on plane and ran about 1/4 mile toward the ocean all of a sudden it was 2-4s and building. We were getting some air when Jay Pilini blew by us in the 36 demo he had there. Less than five minutes Jay comes back. Tom looked at him and pointed toward the ocean. Jay shook his head so we turned back. Tom could see it was getting rougher and he figured if it was too rough for a 36' Spectre he shouldn't go there either.
BTs are great boats, built strong with super headroom in the cabin. The one Powerboat tested ran 94 with staggered Merc 700s, great speed for a big V. I think the all-up weight was 12,000lbs so maybe the factory is doing some vacuum bagging now?

The one in montreal ran 94-95 with 850's... next boat build had some changes and ran 89 with 700's. Ours (43gt flat deck) when it was first built ran a best of 99 with 750's, but would normally see 93-94 with a full load.

John owns the one Sharkey's pic. I don't think he's on SOS. I'll have to shoot him a PM on MWBP. He lives in Nebraska City about an hour south of Omaha. He goes by "waconda" on OSO and by 'John P" on MWBP. He just got the boat last year. Trip 850's with Bmaxes and runs close to 100mph.
