hi,

there are at least three of them built. All with Ilmor 625s and Arnesons. One in Martinique, one in Spain and my boat in Germany. They run 96 to 98mp/h depending on conditions.

Heiko

PS: And there was one at LCM with Ilmor 550s

Lake Cumberland Marine has an 05 with Ilmor's, very nice looking boat in person, believe they said it would do 93-95 all day

Default Fastest

The original black cloud was the fastest. Ran 142+ mph. I think that boat is still a 125+ mph boat, Sean Higgins has fastest one running around the Poker Runs scene with 111mph Slingshot.

Rob you still looking to paint your boat?
