Around 3:00 for me when they were screaming

I can never keep it contained when it comes to twin two stroke outboards.

I guess you didn’t look at the speedometer at the end. 110mph. Have a great day!

@@tony97gt I don't think so dude

The lower units are counter rotating. The engines are aligned to within 1/8” of each other but the fisheye effect of the GoPro makes them look like they’re not.

That’s because with the camera up front at those speeds all you hear is wind noise. It’s not really entertaining so I muted that and added some music.

If you get thru about 80% of the video I had my wife bring the camera down below the windshield and you can listen to the motors, I don’t have music on that part. After that she puts it back up and all you hear is wind.

Not sure what you mean by charging

You mean the alternator?

@@tony97gt Yes. I've seen those on a 3.2 300Xs but not a 280 or 300 Drag

All 280’s have alternators from the factory. If not, it’s a 260. 260’s can turn higher rpm due to the lack of drag from the alternator.

But so much fun

Check out my other one where I’m running 110mph and all you hear is engines

It's probably because most videos are taken on a body of water that's got a little chop to it, or a slight breeze. This water was flat as glass and no wind. The chop and breeze actually help pack air under the tunnels quicker and you can get thru the hop faster.

That run was 110mph

I believe the eliminator and liberator hull is not a true tunnel hull, but more of a hybrid. All skaters have the porpoise so it's not due to setup.

@@tony97gt True, I guess this is the Mod VP style bottom like STVs, Mirages etc. I know some bigger Cats have that as well. All 3 of my DCB's did too. I think the huge DCBs like the M37 Widebody does also. Do Talons have the center pod?

@@GT-mn3bx I honestly can't remember but I think it does.

Thanks. I found that track online. Have to use remixes to avoid the copyright police on UA-cam.

Seems like a good majority of folks gave a thumbs up, so....maybe you could go buy your own speedboat and make whatever videos you want. 🤷🏻‍♂️ By the way, not sure if it registered with you, but the parts with the music at higher volume would have been nothing but wind. 👊🏽

@@tony97gt well considering I already own one! Merc 2.5 efi on a 20’ blazer!

Thx!

It’s a natural thing on tunnel hull boats when they’re in flat water. Happens around that speed while the boat is trying to pack air underneath it and get on top of the water. You’ve gotta power thru it until you pass it.

@P J Oh? I didn't know that. Thank you. I had a Daytona 19 (kevlar) with a 2.5 offshore as well as a Daytona 23 (highside) with twin 300s and never experienced that amount of porpoising. Granted, the hulls were older and heavier late 80s Eliminators, but they never had that much bounce. I'd either drop the Jack plate(s) giving the prop(s) more bite or give it more trim to carry the nose until it packed air and could carry itself. This is "normal" for these Skater hulls? I also remember running an early 90s STV that would porpoise a little, but it was more porpoise with rock from sponson to sponson until it "farted" and sat its ass down. Wow boat and hull tech has changed. By chance, have you had any time in Magic 28 Decks? I need to log back into Scream and Fly, but can't remember logins.

Tony PA see we know some of the same people. Reference: ua-cam.com/video/6ccRbcZDNt8/v-deo.html

SkyBaum nice!

Acc0rd79 actually I am still just private fixed wing and not IFR yet. I went on to commercial rotor and have been focused on building hours there. Almost had the commercial fixed wing done and then Covid hit so it’s on hold for now. Be safe!

You should always keep your hand on throttle in case of speed correction or go around.

Dominick Sforza the amount of adrenaline I got when I was running the boat to make this video was insane

@@tony97gt I can't imagine the feeling you have running these things at 7500-8000 RPM Tony, the sound they make, especially at the top end is something that must be experienced to understand. But since I haven't won the lottery, clips like this are the only way I will ever experience the thrill of a ride on one of these is through clips like this so I want to say thank you for sharing your incredible machine with us.

I've never won the lottery either my friend. When I bought the boat I only paid $30k for it. I bought with a friend so we split everything. We eventually bought the 280's and had them rebuilt and tuned up by Diamond Marine. It was definitely a thrill ride each time.

@@tony97gt outstanding, Mercury outboards have many wins racing those 280hp screamers

@@tony97gt i neglected to ask you the $64 question Tony, what's it cost to rebuild those motors?? How often do they need to be rebuilt?? What's the rebuild intervals hours?? For the $30k investment it looks like you hit a homerun.with your rig, drive safe at 7500rpm @ 110mph Tony.
