They are very nice hull, have a friend and his is in the triple digits. It would be my choice, there fast hulls, and still river friendly.

Are these bottom fast? Just saying. ???????????//.....

if a light hull and rigged and setup correct....oh yeah there fast...in a lake weight hull a 19 will run a tad over 100 with about 900-1000 hp..stable as a rock..lol.ur results may vary.... but they start to get a bit "interesting" at over 120...grngrn
**Btw I run at 4500 ft so faster at normal elevations, I have rigged and set up maybe 10-12 18's, 19's and CP tunnels

Well thanks for the replies but I decided to keep my old boat.devil

I would have to agree on this
There sure aren't many of those running around. The only CP GW I've ever seen run 100 with even anything close to only 650 hp was Segni's (Blue Bomber) Built 468 maybe 675 hp it ran 105 off the Nos. Light boat less than 550 lbs and don't even think about walking across the bow.I would have to agree on this
There are a few guy here that know the boat I think Ron won 6 Championships with it? It was dialed in and he had a shit load of time in it to do it. I'd like to see a 19' GW "Lake" boat run 100 with 650 HP. Not saying it can't be done but knowing what Segni did to get his to do what he did I don't see Joe Blow making it happen.

Doesn't any one ever keep track of records? I m not Joe blow, but my 18' cp 460" chevrolet still holds the ski jet record (sorry Ron Segni) and the comp jet record, both et and mph. Best pass 8.64 et at 121 mph. Hope this sets the record straight.There sure aren't many of those running around.

I don't recall mentioning any records
bulb And a racer of your caliber is certainly no "Joe Blow". Curious, how common would it be for Joe Blow river racer to build a 650 hp 100 mph Jet ?(regardless of GW or not) from my experience not very common.
Have to talk later I'm headed to a meeting

I'll take you for a ride in one once I get it rigged.
Sincerely,
Joe Blow
HAHA! i love it, thats badass busby!
I'll take you up on that. You're saying 100 mph with 650 HP lake boatI'll take you for a ride in one once I get it rigged.
Sincerely,
Joe Blow
bulbAnd I'm not saying it can't be done but it won't be easy. I'd sure like to do one in my next life.
grn I'm thinking 650 HP at 6,500 for starters. As I was headed to my meeting I remembered the first engine Segni had in that "Blue Bomber" when I met him was a .060 over 427 so I think it was a 440" maybe only 650 hp +/- . I'll give him a call tomorrow.

Only (suggestion).......92 at what rpm ? and where do you think the engine makes it power? I'd bet you're making more that 650 HP with that engine. What do you think?
oh yeah, dyno the engine so you know what you're working with.
