Wow, amazing stuff there, thanks for sharing...

[WMC]

WOW. Welcome to www.Hotboat.com Tell a friend.... and post more of your boating on the other side

[GotHalos]

Awesome pictures thanks for posting!!! Its crazy how much the boats roll in the turns. Is this the boat you navigate for?

[Sam R]

its the same boat design/model but this was filmed for the v-24 british championship back in 2005 -07. along time before i started navigating. alot of these boats are over in sweden now

[jordy]

They had the bat boats out here for a while and I want to say they were putting some pretty big (a relative term here) power in them... something like 550HP Ilmors with Volvo drives behind them. It was kind of an odd combination. Had them out at Firebird Raceway a few times running as well. Looks like a wild ride for sure! :D

[Sam R]

these are running 5.7 v8 volvo penta engines giving out about 350-400hp. making them do 70-80 mph through 5-6 ft waves making big air :)

I remembered the Volvo part of it... will have to look at my pics and see if I can find the one they shoe horned a big mill into as it was kind of a wild combination. Thanks for the response and welcome to Hotboat! :D

[GotHalos]

I heard Volvo was factory backing the series for a while? Still the case?

[Sam R]

it was a long time before i started racing. it very well might have been. i know it was avery big series with many boats competing. we have a european championship over in the uk in the summer with boats from sweden and norway coming over to race so that should be really good :)

Can't wait for summer to be here, and there! :D What part of the U.K exactly do they hold the races? Need to plan a trip over there!

Hey guys, it's me and my bro running on the YT clips.

I don't know how familiar you are with the V-24 boats. Anyway their where designed by the Swedish designer Ocke Mannerfeldt. This is a one-design class, witch basically means that we all run the same stuff.

We are not allowed to make any changes to the hull, engine or drive. Propellers are free to modify but must be of Volvo Penta E2 kind. This makes the racing pretty damn exciting.

They are not that fast, but they run really good in the rough.


This is a movie from when we gave our sponsors a ride.

Anyway, our Team is based in the North of Sweden and have 4 boats.

2x V-24 (me and my bro now have each one) - 77mph
1x B-23 (se pic) - 84+mph
1x Custom Magnum 27 Sport - "Arrow 830" - 92-93 mph

Here are some pics, mostly of the V-24's but also the rest of the lineup.

Awesome pictures!!! Id imagine the pics.dont do justice to what it's like in person, but isnt that usually the case. How long are these races typically?
Point to point or laps?

[Sam R]

racing takes place mainly on the south coast of the uk. but there is also a series out in guernsey which has some really great boats and 3-4 v24s!!!

[GoFastRacer]

Summer just ended lol
And it sucks don't it!..:grumpy::D

[peppe]

Nice pic's, cant admin merge the two V-24 threads?

Ramsgate will rock, 2013 V-24 EC :)

[peppe]

I will post some more pics later on :)

Races are ~ 1 hour long and mostly lap races, different laps, big small, medium but also point to point. They run really smooth concidering how you drive them :)

[Wendi]

Very cool!!

I'm pretty sure peppe is Team Johannson. He drives these bad boys. So how do we go about getting a hotboat.com sticker on one of these flying monsters? :D

I already have some in the mail to you BTW.

[hallett21]

What does one of these boats cost to build?

[peppe]

Wendi: Yes i am, i founded Team Johansson 2007 when i started driving the B-23 in the Swedish series. :)

Gothalos: Well, just send a few stickers and we will try to make room. If any one has a sharp eye you should se a falimiar sticker on atleast my boat Red/White/Blue. Miss Geico stickers, Scott gave em to us when we visited their shop last year.

hallett21: Im not sure what they would cost today, but make contact with the CEO at:

This is a cool vid with my boat, previous owner in England racing it here:

Frozen sea? Now that sounds COLD. Let's see some pics if you have any, most of us have never seen Sweeden, let alone how cold it is! :D

[peppe]

[GRADS]

Great video! I've always wanted to drive one of those boats, looks like it would be fun. I saw one about 5 years ago out on Folsom Lake. They are very cool looking in person.

[peppe]

I will take you up on that offer if you ever visited sweden or any of our races in Europe :)

[Roaddogg 4040]

Great pictures. How about posting a few more of the Magnum. I have loved the 27' for years! Beautiful and timeless design...
