"BIG SUCKER MARINE TOLD ME" (Actual HTM Dealer.)
90 MPH - Carbuerated 565 - 625 hp low 90's = 73,750$$ motor, 18K upgrade Which by the way puts the base motor package in my mind at a WHOPPING TOTAL OF 55,750 for a baseline HTM.. (Pretty Damed Expensive if you ask me..)
120 MPH - 1000hp = 92K (Gauranteed 120mph)
Now let's tack on another 17mph... I think your 90K ish just turned into more like 100K ish... Probably more like 105 - 110Kish... http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
56K (I round up) for a baseline HTM that we'll say runs around what 60-65mph?
VS
55Kish (as you like to say) for a 128mph liberator with Twin O/B's OOOORRRRR...
A 22.6 Nordic for 55K that'll do 72mph and well..... We don't want to get into the aesthetics department....
Movie Quote time for Havasu Hangin over there... "Don't mess with the bull son you'll get the horns." How many movies can you think of? I got two already. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
I swear to god I kill myself on these boards.. Either that or MR.Pump really will Kill me when we go for a ride!! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif If you put on a lifeline jacket or anything I'm gettin outta the boat!
MrPump, I'm just joking with ya.. I hope you realize that.. Don't take it personal, I wouldn't joke if I didn't like ya. I think it's great what you guys are doing with the racing etc... and overall I think there nice boats..

Thanks, Glad you liked the boat, there is sadly alot of bad spirted people out there. Do you remember in high school when a teacher put everyone in a big circle, then told the first person a simple sentance. By the time it got to the end of the circle you could not make heaads or tails of the sentance. We are the new guys, so we are like the freshman of the school, who does everyone pick on....

I met with a builder recently and asked him what's up with this industry and why does everyone try to steal and piss each other off so much? He didn't really have a clear answer other than to say it's always been like that. He told me he lurks here from time to time but is put off by all the bickering, bitching, and overall 12 yr old girl like fighting. It's too bad because he knows his shit (world record hulls).

http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif Hi River Dave, http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
Thanks for giving the second look.. If another manufacturers very first boats built were out on the market for resale I bet they are not the same as they make today.
Thank you for comming back and setting the record straight. It's O.K. you like other boats, if everyone liked the same thing life would sure be dull.

Maybe you havent taken notice,but the whole HTM board came on to say they dont need to bash others and that the HTM bashers should get there information correct before opening their mouths.Our point of this board is to get correct and accurate information to people interested in HTM and for the HTM owners to chat to one another.The positive imput by the HTM people stopped the crap talk until you came on. Have A nice day!
The whole HTM Board?
Our point of this Board?
Stopped the crap talk "UNTIL YOU CAME ON?"

Ease up there Queen of the HTM's I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but
A. He's been here a hell of a lot longer then any of the HTM guys..
B. He just pointed out something about the Boat Industry in general not necesarrily about HTM's.
C. You gotta lighten up a little bit! Calm that "edge" down before you hurt somebodies feelings. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
If anything if you read his posts the main point of it was in fact the same point your trying to make.
Why do people Bash products without first hand knowledge?
I did my HTM bashing a while ago, AND IT WAS FROM PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE.. The first two I rode in were the equivalent of Hammered dog sh*t.. However I'm an open minded person and went for a few more rides a year or two later, and they were pretty nice! Hence why I asked HTM Racing if they changed something about the boats. Which they responded that they did.... Perhaps alot of people had similar experiences as mine, which is a tough reputation for a manufacturer to overcome. If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I would've purchased an HTM I would've said something like you couldn't pay me too. If you'd ask me now... I still say no but that becuase of personal issues not becuase of the performance or quality of the boat. (Just not my cup of tea, besides I can't see spending that much money on an HTM when almost any 21-22' Cat with twin o/b's is half the price and will blow the doors off an HTM that costs the same amount http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif)

RD, Whats up bud,
now now now You load up the liverator with 5 people and I'll load up my HTM with the same amount plus a 50 pack of silvers on Ice and we'll take a little jount from the Island to the Dam and back and We'll probably have 42 coldies left for you when you get there, Im only allowing two coldies per guest while I'm driving the rig, I dont want to make too many stops, Lets say we make it in the middle of the day so we can get all the big chop, that always makes it more interesting, I'm sure theres a few of the bigger cats that would love some of that action, probably hold more silvers too.....
Let me know? I'm sure pumps would be in for the fun, what do you say Mr Pumps?
Good luck on the project, (Liberator)

Liverator eh?? Well I can take a joke as well as anyone, however if you have 42 silvers left over either your partying with a group of panzi's or your boat is "super duper fast" which I guess is what you wanted me to believe.... However, Being that I ain't sitting in the back of my own boat I don't much care how comfortable it is just shut up and hold on right? However, I'm willing to do that.. Granted my boat isn't done yet, but I happen to know a guy with a Liverator as you put it with a single little 300x on it... What do you say we make it from Topok To Parker Dam and back? What kind of crew will you be rolling with?? Becuase I can almost garauntee by the time you get there we'll be off getting MORE BEER!

Wow, now your talkin, I was being considerate of your internal organs and others, I know what a beating my liver took on the water, not since upgrading to the cat and length and freeboard, things are smoother at speed..
Plus wifey likes it much better, and that makes everything alot easier....
