Just passed this boat on a trailer on the highway in st. Louis. Now im wishing i had just followed it cause i would love nothing more than to take a ride in it! That looks like the funnest thing ever!!!!

I wish they would make a dual fuel 1650/1750

Or make it compatible with E85 so you get the 1750 hp without the need for expensive racing fuel.

That thing is screaming!

[@rogerhale6404]

top speed?

[@boxarbiffen]

170+

[@adamaylsworth8237]

185+
Props are setup for 120-185 due to circle track style. Top speed could very well be 200+ when setup for a shootout
