Weee,we're going 90 miles per hour! A great VCR vid of my boat that turned out REAL crappy by recording it off the TV with my pocket camera. Lost a lot of audio and video.
1980 Howard flat bottom. Bored BBC. When the tach hits 6,000 (ouch) the prop is turning 9,000 rpm. A full throttle pass across a 2 mile lake will tulip the valves every time. TOO much camshaft. Was built for 1/4 mile drag runs.....
I used to have an 18 ft Donzi with a hollman moody built 351 clevland would run about 72mph on the rough water with a 19" pitch in the prop but it had a volvo penta outdrive which IMO wasn't as good as mercriuser. I will always love Jersey Skiffs though I'll get one one day.
