If you want to see speed, go to an event when there are drag boat races. Now that's fast. On average they do 150 MPH in a quarter mile race. Exciting to watch if you never seen one.

i think someone was asking why so many top ends are being rebuilt
A mechanic chimed in it is due to running them open to much
oh well - get out the wallet
i agree 50-60 is about all i want to do but if i was younger i might.........
Thanks

He is a great guy. He used to fish. LOL He still has his 20' Lanier Bass Boat (not the one in this video) and a Mod VP STV. He used to have a 20' Lanier LCB bass boat with TWIN Merc 300X's on back. That was the rig that got my attention. It was bright yellow & purple. Photobucket has made it so diff to post pix I don't post them any more but if someone wants to see it I will send the pic I have and you can post.

I hit 81 GPS in my TR21 one time. That was plenty fast for me. I'm to old for that stuff anymore.

I know some of you wonder why in the world would anybody want to go that fast in a boat of any kind. I feel the same way about guys that ride bulls, climb mountains, sky dive, noodle for catfish, handle live snakes, play chess, and a whole bunch of other things that people do for "fun." I've owned five bass rigs that would run in excess of 100 mph including an Allison bass boat that would hit 115. It is a challenge and a thrill to be behind the wheel of a vee bottom boat at triple digit speed. Is it a little CRAZY to do it? You bet it is, BUT I would bet that every single one of you that frequent the TFF do something that somebody else would think is completely insane. Don't be so close minded folks! One man's trash is another man's treasure. That what makes life interesting.

I use to work the booth for Fishin World Dallas every year at the Dallas boat show. And every year we would take an Allison bass boat or a Bullet that would run 90-100 mph. I would be standing beside the hotrod bass rig and observe a husband & wife approaching us.
Without fail the first question would come from the guy: "How fast will that thing run!??" I would launch into my speech about all the variables that affect the performance of the rig and then tell the man it would run 95 mph.
Without fail the second question would come from the lady: "Why would Anyone need to go 95 mph to catch a fish!??"
My response was always this: "Ma'am, it ain't got nothing to do with NEED. As a matter of fact this is a BOAT SHOW, there's nothing in the building that has anything to do with NEED"

I ended up with a cheap a$$ 18' Stratos with a 150 Merc. that rode like a log wagon on a gravel rode and wouldn't do 50mph with a trailing 20 mph wind. That boat ended up causing a divorce but wasn't long and I had a humdinger of a rig, lol.

I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. That what makes life interesting. This is very well said, I have been over a 140 in a Peterbilt I owned,1968 Z28 Chevy I owned and a 2003 1800 Honda. I believe a lot of people would think I am crazy to. My wife asked me why I didn't wear a helmet, I explained if I wrecked on a Honda at a 140 MPH I wouldn't want to live. LOL I am one of the many who have NO interest in running a 100 MPH in a boat, but to each his own. LOL
