I saw it gassing up in town. Rumor has it that the gas pump shutting off at every $50 was making it hard to fill the tanks in a reasonable amount of time. He went inside and told the clerk "Here's my freakin' card, I want $1000 of gas. Don't let the pump shut off dammit!"

Here's two pics. Nice painted sixes! I spoke w/Mike yesterday. He said Skater told him it's the fastest pleasure skater in the country right now and when all is said and done should run over 200mph!
They were braking it in last weekend, engines de-tuned to 1100s and ran 144. Thing is SICK!

Can someone download the pics and then upload them to a non "stingy" site so we can all see them?
Perhaps www.hotboatpics.com
Either that or e-mail them to me and I'll host them..

200MPH huh.... anyone else think that is kinda fast for a "pleasure" boat?
Don't get me wrong it's bad ass. I just hope the owner is qualified to drive it.
Thought of a good name for it "Stupid Fast"

I can explain this one, it's elementary:D
You see I have a boat with no motor in it that is capable of traveling at ZERO mph.
After installing a 700 HP motor, it will travel at least 56 mph.
Capiche?;)

Is that Mike Bobbit from "Miken"?
I used to be in the clothing manufacturing business "jrs clothing" and i knew him from the industry. Looks like he is doing well:D

RD,
They were breaking the motors in last weekend...They were detuned to 1100 hp but they werent hitting it all the way.
Second, they (Skater) are comparing it to the Bacardi Silver boat which has the same power and is the same size and runs well over 210, soooooo Skater believes this boat w/2800hp will run 200+
Hallet19,
No I don't believe he's named it yet however I like "Stupid fast"! And its a 40' skater.
LickThis is for sale at the Aqua Toy store in Florida after being tied up in some litigation.
Freak,
The owner is very calm and collected and is definately an experienced high speed performance boat owner. For this boat he's flying in a professional race driver to go over a few things with him and run the boat for a day.
Cole,
yes, it's Mike Bobbit from Miken...I agree, I'm in the wrong business!
;) :D

Skater is already building a supposid faster boat for a customer.
And yea, that would be sweet to see Predator and this boat go at it.
I was sitting (broken:( ;) ) up near steamboat on Friday during the heatwave poker run in April. I was floating in the middle of the lake and the next thing you know, the Sweepers cat, the gibson boat, the cats ass (or whatever its called) and two other BIG cats come screaming by me at well over 100+. It was SICK! These boats are getting out of control price/looks/insurance/power/speed...Anything dealing w/them. I wonder what the top speed they will finally be happy with.

Freak
07-22-2004, 03:56 PM
Remember when 100mph was the mark to hit. Now your boat aint gonna be shit unless it runs 200mph. LOL. 200mph....LOL that's insane.
