That was fun :action-smiley-035:
That's hella fast, wow.
I have a few questions and comments.....
First of all that was incredible especially for a single engine boat. 100% bad ass!!!
What motor and drive package is in that thing?
Get the dang steering wheel on straight....that would drive me nuts.
And I've got to say it....no lifevest? At least wear one so they can recover your body.
I love a speedo that starts life at 50 :D
Just guessing, as far as the wheel, it may be straight at idle or slower speeds. That beast has to be torqueing the shit out of the entire drivetrain, so I might expect the wheel to not be straight at 143 :D
20 seconds to go from 60 to 140. Pretty lazy....:popcorn:
1150-1200 HP someone mentioned. Imco scx-4.
That's a lot of H.P. but honestly with that I kind of speed I thought it would be more. :thumbup:Quote:

RPM's seem to get more speed out of less horsepower than any other comparable boat. Its pretty amazing what one will do with 700HP. They seem to have the bottom figured out.Quote:

Great Job RPM!
They are also working with IMCO and redesigning the SCX lower unit. I hope they do something with it because I doubled my slip number going from a SC to the SCX and lost 15mph. But at least I'm bullet proof. :thumb:
From what I've been told its how the lower on the scx buldges out and is actually pushing the water away from the prop.Quote:

Even though they have redesigned the lower 3 times it is still larger than the SC because of the bearing size. This is why the slip is so much higher than a SC. If I was to run the SCX -4 with the larger cleaver prop I wouldn't notice but I am not running that setup because of my kiddos.Quote:
