Not a race but a “Demo”

    Thought maybee this was worthy of a new thread.
    We can’t have a race. Many insurance companies won’t cover damages if your “racing”. We could however get together and “Demo” our boats. Is anyone really interested? I know CPC would show. I’d show just to run against that Allison again, this time without my livewells full. We could call it an event. Give people a chance to look at a bunch of cool boats, maybee get a ride in something that they are thinking of buying.
    As far as motors, I run the 2.5 280 ss from merc 378 lbs. The short shaft lowers the center of gravity making the boat easier to drive. I run a 27 pitch prop from hydromotive engineering, and turn it at 7850 rpm.
    Throw in My 1200 lb Stroker hull, and do the math.
    Cpc whats that Allison you have weigh?

    I would definitely attend this little “demo” and would drop for some gas money to get a ride in that boat of yours!

    I know a kid that would be interested in this little demo, he runs a hydrostream Merc 2.5 not sure on the year but he has had it going 91 mph. boat isn’t even in the water when you get going that fast, it is a chick magnet. give details ahead of time so i can let him know, he would be up for it.

    Jim – Spec on my boat is 1050 lbs. Trouble is, I seem to have accumulated about 300 lbs of junk in it. Hmmmm….no wonder I’m just nudging (rather than slamming) the limiter with my 29 Hoss these days.

    By the by, I’m always game for a ‘demo ride’. Not sure when you’re thinking about doing this, but I’ll be up north over the next two weekends sorting hammer handles from the bucketmouths.

    Jedsall,

    Sounds like fun as long as you can get some other boats there besides evrything that does 90 plus. It could be kinda like the rallies they have on BBC. Im definately intrested, you know anyone with a bumble bee? Almost bought one but wanted to make it to my 21st birthday.
