Does it take, to make a V-Drive 18 ft runner style bottom hull, lake layup, go over 100 mph.
Thanks in advance
I dunno hp numbers. But a decent BBC with 12 to 1 compression...decent roller cam and Iron 990's, tunnel ram dealio will do it. Prolly the right single carb setup will do it too. Lot depends on the boat and how good the bottom is (hooks).
Remember that is at sea level type air. And after 100 mph it gets a lot tougher.

Less will do it, in a 1900lb Hondo.
467
990heads
single 850 (flowed)
flat tappet cam
12.54:1
per GPS 101mph with 12's & 11x16prop, runs better mph with 18's
Cole tr2 runner with 454, LS6 450hp + or - 16 pitch 11 1/8" casale with 18's turned 6500rpn to 6700 rpm ran 87mph, most days. :rollside:
Yeah...thinking about this we did have a 75 Cole tr-1 with a flat tappet in it and it ran 102.

Seems like a lot of slip with an 11-1/8"x16 prop :idea:
Turning 6500rpm with 18's and a 16 pitch prop and 87mph gives you about 25% slip, are your numbers right?
It took about 650 hp to make my Sanger run 100. The Canyon is much more efficient could probably do it with 550 hp.

And probably less than that. Canyon's are very good boats.
