90 was a hard barrier to cross, 100 will prove to be tough as well...but possible
Safety is going to be our biggest priority now. There is a longgg way between 93 and 100

Our 1st weekend of testing went much better than expected.
These things are a handful above 75. A skilled pilot (Cody Cole, Johnny Saris, etc.) can make it look easy. It is not easy.
Johnny had ours up tp 93 mph solo and 91 with all 3 of us and 1/2 a tank of fuel on board.
My son managed 84. I couldn't get much past 75, but I will, with a LOT of practice.
We are also working on changes to improve stability at higher speeds.
Can't wait for spring!

My Pachanga 22 that I had. I redid the whole interior, electronics, stereo, canvas cover and bimini top/enclosure, and had the boat painted as well.

She has a 502efi in it and was a little screamer!

She looks nice!
Bravo outdrive? What did you see for top speed?

Yup, it had a Bravo 1 outdrive and it would do 72. I never really tried to run it all out for a period of time to play with trim and see if I could get any more out of it either...

Be fun to try one of these, but $5K is a big swing.

i would add at least 280 tabs it makes a world of difference, on our 25 thunder we run 380s i would also check out the ski boats in the land down under they are 21-22 feet with a really big engine and are rock steady all the way to 140ish theres 2 in the boat and 2 on a rope i think it was psyco clown that has the merc 1850

Been researching these Ausi ski race guys, crazy is a term that comes to mind. )
Looks like they run BIG K planes and some kind of wing/plate on the outdrive?
We need some warmer weather so we can get this thing in the water.
