Noah... I am talking pitch. I currently run a 26 and need to run a 28.
Mike, yeah I still got it. Summer's comin! I have it for sale, but not really trying too hard to sell it. HAHAHAA.

The boat runs fully loaded tournament ready( 4 batteries, power pole, trolling motor, and full tank of gas and all poles and gear) with a 4 blade bravo 1 28 pitch 76 mph with 2 people.
1/4 tank of gas, 1 person, 1 battery, no trolling motor and the PRO ET prop the boat will run 90+
We have the PRO ET Prop now and looking to go do some testing in the next week or two. You guys with all the baja boats want to get some of this fishing boat just let me know on clear lake! I would like to race that haynie with the 300 merc. Bring that boat down to clear lake and lets line them up!
Top speed as of right now is 81 mph with the bravo 1 28 pitch with 1 person and 1/4 tank of gas. I just want to hit the 90mph club. With the boat being a CAT Hull it holds it's track and will turn sharp at 65mph not to mention I get up on top of the waves in the bay and can cross a open choppy bay. Poker run in the summer here we come! We will be the only fishing boat in the poker run!

Should have bought something with a Turbine setup. Who cares if they are a couple million, it's totally worth it!

Nice, but you have a blower, we don't
. Jet boats will out accelerate a flatbottom for at least 1/8 mile, but look out when that prop hooks up and the second gear hit 
. Make sure you dont' hit 150, rules say you need a capsule no matter what class you are running.

are these guys running any sanctioning bodies? if they're running 140 in 1000' they would take home the money if they could do it with any consistancy... what kind of timing is verifying these speeds? any kinds of ETs?

I got to ride in the first Eliminator tunnel hull back in 78(?). I was only 14 at the time. My dad and a friend of his had a boat shop on 59 at Chimney Rock in Houston. Shop was called California Boat Works. Bob Leach had brought it down to advertise it. They sold a lot of them. I would like to get one and take the 200 Merc off the back of the Glastron and put it on one of these and go water skiing.
