owner has opined, boat is going 105 here but has done 118! That's pretty fast in a boat that size, especially with the chine walk it's doing. Driving this would be like laying a 2x4 across a bowling ball and trying to balance yourself, on ice!!! And people waterski behind these too!!!
Classic footage of the best rough water offshore raceboats ever made running wide open in up to 8 foot seas. 20 years later, they're still being run. And when conditions get rough, they start walking away from people.
Round 2 qualifying from Gatornationals 08. Sorry about the camera shake, very windy that day along with the shaking from all the people on the stand's walkway. Still trying to get the camera work more still, was originally in Hi Def. FC's and PS and bikes yet to come!
Here's a run from Orlando's Fun Ford Weekend. More playing with the hi-def camcorder. I know I need to get a shoulder mount system to get rid of the shakes. Tom was kind enough to let me get up close to both of his cars and I hope to get more footage soon, including in-car. This is his 10.5" tire car, which is capable of running 6.8's. Motor cooked on this run...
