Wonder how they run in a nice 3' chop???
My friend, and OSO member, Tom Wright (he is Drag120 or Twright depending on which computer he is on) runs two Seebold hulls. One is a 16 foot drag boat that runs the quarter in about 10 flat. Tops out at over 120 mph. Raced and BEAT the Signsolver.com Eliminator at LOTO last year. What a sight that was!! His other is a 18' that he and I have had at about 84 mph at LOTO this year. He has had that one over 90 by himself. Runs a hopped up 2.4 on his 18 and a really hopped up 2.5 on his 16 (which is a full canopy boat). About 400 hp!!!!!!

Mirage River Racers used to be built just east of Dallas. The owner sold to someone up north I think. In addition to outboard models, he also built BBC jet drive boats.

We sold Mirage Boats, Inc (Kaufman TX) to Mike Mullins of Winter Haven, FL in 1997. Although, Mike did not purchase the 23' foot Mod-VP/Vee models nor the 18' jet drive hull molds. The jets, I believe, are being built by a firm in Louisiana.
