I would love to see a couple kids in a beatup 1963 Lonestar runabout ,1970 Evinrude 60hp missing the engine cowling for rope starting, shorts, t-shirt, big boxy orange life jackets, win one these tournaments with Zebco closed face spinners.. Even if they had to catch the fish ahead of time, and stash them.
My buddy has a Stroker with a 300 he was running 96 mph fastest boat I’ve ever been on. This video reminded me of that ride the camera was perfect he took us all for a ride. Awesome video!!!! 🇺🇸👍🏽
Yeah, I'm on my highschool fishing team and we have a 60mph max rule which we don't even get close to. This was like a carnival ride! Haha. One more time...
Great Video!!! Almost bought a Bullet a few years ago that was in great shape and had a Johnson 200. IMHO best looking bass boat ever built. Wife said NO!!! Where are all the grandkids gonna sit!! Anyways.......you got a bad ass ride there!!
I used to open up the air box on my V8s to hear the induction roar, not sure it went harder but, it sounded good. The things we do and wonder why our wives give us strange looks....they just dont understand boy stuff.
Oh yea... I got a 12/32 fish master that runs 6mph wit a 1972 Johnson 4hp! I'm living on the edge with 5" of freeboard with a full 6 gallon tank! And I only fill that sumbitch 2 times a season!
I was going to be that guy and point out that the co-angler removes life jacket before boat motor operation has stopped. Most clubs have a dq rule for safety along those lines.
@@andrewmechelke8209 most tournaments I fish you have to have your life jacket on while boat is on plane. If it was while big motor is on, most people would be DQ just loading and unloading off the trailer to the dock.
I caught more and bigger bass from a 10' jon and a 13'/10hp than from my Ranger, HydraSports or my partner's Skeeter combined. This isn't about fishing, it's about competing.
Man I'm all about an Allison 2002 but have a friend with the 20xd and a stroker 300xs on the back and it's a 100+ boat. The 20 ft bullet is a bad little dude. Thanks for the vid!
This was bad ass loved it when I was a kid my dad had a 20ft bullet with a 235 Johnson it was fast nothing like this but I grew up on that boat and my dad out ran all of his buddies with it some of my best memories
That's why those engines have Roller bearings on the mains and rods and wrist pins, so they can handle the high rpms for a continued run. When you hear those ridiculous Jet boats with the Big Blown V-8s, they can only hold high rpms for a short burst, then have to back off or they'll Self Destruct, only friction bearings in those....
I still prefer a 18.5 ft boat with a 150 on the back. 60 MPH if I needed it 38 MPH standard cruising speed and small enough to navigate through the stump fields with ease. I've never felt like I lost a tournament because of the extra 5 minutes it takes me to go 30 miles.
Candid X You kidding I remember 50 hp Merc biggest boat motor & when 85 V-4 OMC or Evinrude came out. Big deal. Still funny the arguments who made best boat motor Johnson or Rude ! They were both OMC just Different Paint Color ! Ha... Some would fight ya over that ?
@@rustyshakelford9777 It is for the average guy that fishes for fun and maybe the odd tournament. The pros can run 150 miles to one spot so they need the speed. We had one ass clown complaining his coil pack cut out and his speed dropped down below 40 mph. That was in a fun tournament where every boat has 2 kids under 17 in it and it's on a river that's maybe a half mile wide at it's widest. We were getting passed 4 wide by guys doing 50 mph so they could beat everyone 4 or 5 miles up the river. I would buy a boat like that but I can't afford the diesel truck with the 14 inch lift kit.
Won a tourny in a 16' glasstream with a 75hp Mariner once. Can't believe how much shit I got for that. When I'd had ENOUGH, I dropped my shorts, slapped my ass, and yelled KISS THIS!!...... A round of applause followed. Damn,.... They weren't that bada fellas after all.
I have an 88 20.5 foot stratos with a 150 pro v,does 60 on a good day and rides really good,and it feels like I'm flying.cant imagine a speed like that.fastest boat I've rode in was a sprint bass boat,did 80 and shit I though we were gonna take off
Funny story , my first experience at a bass tournament with a small V- hull Glassmaster with a 50 on the back , at the start of the race the rooster tails from the high powered boats just about swapped my boat , we were lucky we had put our soft top on or would have drowned in the process! 😂
Every tournament starts with a DRAG RACE... You have to be the first one to where they're NOT biting. Now I fish when I want to fish and it isn't a JOB anymore.
@@russellschroeder990 ~ Heard some comedian talk about that once. Said every hauls ass across the lake to fish at docks. Why not fish at the dock where everyone starts??
Mercury motors, when they run,they run good. But my 96 200 has went through 2 head gaskets,I have to beat the shit out of the ecu with my net handle to get it to work,trim went out, and now what I thought was a spun prop was actually some lower unit fuckery.i believe my next boat will have a yammy
Xx0kXX300X that’s what I thought as well but I talked to an angler one time asking how they do on gas and they get better mileage at the high speeds many slow zone lakes he said eat them up. Once they get them trimmed and propped out right they just glide the guy said
@@davidengel4884 Yes and no. Going full tilt like this is still going to drain the gas like an MFer. Now a happy 50-70% throttle once on plane does nicely.
depends on the load and conditions and what prop i'm running. Short run tournaments i use different props then long runs. Short run tournaments ill run 93-95mph, long run tournaments 100-102mph. I'm running all lithium batteries now and did a few more mods to the motor and boat. I'm hoping for faster this year.
Bullet makes a fine and beautiful boat and Mercury builds a great outboard. The man has serious driving skills but STILL that is to fast for water that has other boats on it. Slower traffic is put in danger is my point. Not a hater , I just recognize the obvious. Be safe and catch a bagful and let everyone live to see it.
I’d have to agree! Even though we are watching through the GoPro, watching your throttle control and water awareness was pretty impressive! Even though I’m not a go fast kinda guy, I’d ride shotgun with you anytime! And to listen to that merc wind out was SICK! Cool vid!
That's a sweet ride man, and not to mention some bad ass driving. I think if I were in that jump seat, i'd be shitting a boat load of purple twinkies, and screaming like a little bitch.
He should have been able to get the hit and walk away from the pack. I'm sure during pre fishing the other anglers saw what his boat could do. Be safe and courteous....not put people's lives in danger.
if you are smiling while watching this your one of us
No one know how sketchy that is unless you’ve ridden one. Always a great feeling 🤘
Props to the co-angler, for not screaming like a girl...
Just when I thought he hit top end...he had three more gears
Boat motors don't have gears. But I know what your saying
I would have for sure.
Man, those RPM's are deadly...
Love the sound of those mercs. Good driving.
Sounds like a sewing machine. Until they pop. lol
@@Jay_Wood I’ve never ever heard a sewing machine like that lol!
Excellent driving, also looks like your 20xd rides amazing on and off pad
Hell yeah! First to the spot where we catch nothing!
That MF was flying, walked everybody down!
I would love to see a couple kids in a beatup 1963 Lonestar runabout ,1970 Evinrude 60hp missing the engine cowling for rope starting, shorts, t-shirt, big boxy orange life jackets, win one these tournaments with Zebco closed face spinners.. Even if they had to catch the fish ahead of time, and stash them.
Eiserntors Phantom of the Opera 😂 LOL
Lol
Eiserntors Phantom of the Opera I like the way you think the sport has become too expensive fuck that guy and his overpriced crap
@@rustyshakelford9777 you sound pissed because this guy can afford something that you can't
I'd like to see a guy in a Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn raft win it using cane poles.
My buddy has a Stroker with a 300 he was running 96 mph fastest boat I’ve ever been on. This video reminded me of that ride the camera was perfect he took us all for a ride. Awesome video!!!! 🇺🇸👍🏽
Off on my annual trip tomorrow am for the week!
Love the sound of the Mercs !!
Fantastic driving!🚀🚀🚀
Wow.. What an awesome video! Absolutely love to hear an outboard screaming like that, gives me chills and a wind grin the whole time.
how fast are the fish up their? they not that fast here in Florida.
I love it. Native to Florida myself. South east
Kml
Yeah, I'm on my highschool fishing team and we have a 60mph max rule which we don't even get close to. This was like a carnival ride! Haha. One more time...
Yeah buddy!!!! I never ran mine wide open except at blast off. But then again I was still 20 mph slower than that. Love the adrenaline rush!
Holy shit, that is some insane speed! Nice speed control too
Using the bass seat for bow lift or drag?
just imagine thinking you have a fast boat and you look over and see the guy pull out a couple of masks..
I was driving my uncles boat going 60 and i thought I was going fast, nah a boat with a 350 on it comes and passes me🤣
Great Video!!! Almost bought a Bullet a few years ago that was in great shape and had a Johnson 200. IMHO best looking bass boat ever built. Wife said NO!!! Where are all the grandkids gonna sit!! Anyways.......you got a bad ass ride there!!
Definitely a bad ass boat, have you ever seen an Allison XB2003 though?
I used to open up the air box on my V8s to hear the induction roar, not sure it went harder but, it sounded good. The things we do and wonder why our wives give us strange looks....they just dont understand boy stuff.
I fished that lake before what kinda tournament? Bass or walleye?
Oh yea... I got a 12/32 fish master that runs 6mph wit a 1972 Johnson 4hp! I'm living on the edge with 5" of freeboard with a full 6 gallon tank! And I only fill that sumbitch 2 times a season!
As long as you are happy with what you have the fish dont care about what boat you are running.
I’ve got a stratos 284 with a black max 150 It’s got a big tank I’ve got to fill it up about every 2 trip I run up and down chickamauga all day😂
@@Tyler-zw4kq got an 05 triton 50 he Johnson motor. Does like 30
very nice. I drive a Triton, that runs 70's, and don't have a motor like that but the chine walk would be a work out. Your rig is planted.
Bullet boat, Stratos life jacket. That makes sense...
Badass vid!!

Great driver!! I would feel very comfortable riding with this guy.
flerting with death my friend... but that is one hot motor
What lake was this on? I ask because I fish lake vermilion in northern Minnesota. In the caption vermilion is spellled with 2 LL’s?
This is in ontario canada
I had a buddy tell me that you can't catch a fish at 80 mph with my bullet!! and I told him you can't catch them at 10 mph neither!! 🤣
I caught more and bigger bass from a 10' jon and a 13'/10hp than from my Ranger, HydraSports or my partner's Skeeter combined. This isn't about fishing, it's about competing.
Yeah, so why overpay for a fishing boat if you still can’t catch them?
Who said fishing isn't a death defying event...LOL
If you have no chance of being a paraplegic its not fun :D
Man I'm all about an Allison 2002 but have a friend with the 20xd and a stroker 300xs on the back and it's a 100+ boat. The 20 ft bullet is a bad little dude. Thanks for the vid!

Anyone else remember the max 150 hp days? I must be old because this just seems excessive and too dangerous for weekend anglers.

Underrated comment
Impressive, around 15/20 mph more than the others
Oh damn! I cant even comprehend that, id mess up and throw myself off thebboat so damn fast 😅
hat off to your driving skill.. if that was me .i would had crash .
woooo
No co angler seat? If these guys are Bass fishing, almost all trails allow a 250 hp max
What a wild fuckin ride dude!!!!! Hahaha Jesus that sob is bad!!!! I love it
that motor sounds like it is coming apart.
Most be going after those flying fish🐳
Tuner work??

😊 The best part of the day
My dream is to have a 300 Merc v8 on my 2008 Bullet 20xd it has a 225 Mercury Sports Xs sportsmaster does 83 but we all ways want more!
Wahts a top speed ?
That is scary fast lol
He is really dragging a net to catch all the bass
Crazy 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That it one fast boat it seemed like the rpms were endless!
Actually this 3 liter runs thousands less rpms than the 2.5 can
What kinda motor
Bass are fast. My wife and I looked forward to fish sandwiches at McDonald's after a hard day of fishing.
...& on their way to the honey hole they ran over 3 water skiers & a fishing kayak!
See him put his mask down then look at it like "yeah I looked cool as hell" lol
Nuttn like doin 80+ from spot to spot. Thats the real reason they fisherman! Lol
That’s how you get to the hole First!
How fast does your boat go?

Wow!
You're co angle must trust you alootttt hahaha. I'd love to ride in you're rig!
Damn I'd be scared to drive that thing lol
Wide open yes, 50mph I got this.
Fast boat to catch and pass everyone.
Looking at the beginning of the video I’m like “so is this a red boat only tournament?”
Red boats are the best boats
Bullet makes a fine and beautiful boat and Mercury builds a great outboard. The man has serious driving skills but STILL that is to fast for water that has other boats on it. Slower traffic is put in danger is my point. Not a hater , I just recognize the obvious. Be safe and catch a bagful and let everyone live to see it.
what is the headgear?
there called savephase
Dayum!!!! 90-100!!!!
Passes everything, including the fish! Anyone know if these guys are still alive?
Dqed much for taking jacket off while engines running?
loostonerool what a stupid comment
I was thinking the same thing. I thought in most tournaments you had to have your vest on while engine was running.
Gotta get t o the next fishing hole.
It's like time travel.
Co-angler had the lifejack off before you were even stopped. That's a DQ for co-angler and boater in any tournament i've seen
Call the warden
Settle down rich don’t be off because they passed u out there
None I've seen.
Oh call the cops.
Rich I thought that was you stalled out 100 yards out. Better luck next year rook-angler
Just when you think that all she's got, she had even more. 😬😁
Thats a bad Ass Sob motor
Setup?
This was the most Murica fuck yeah video ever
Bozaga !!!!!!
All Bullett owners I know all wait till everyone leaves just so they can pass them.
good they have masks because rain feels like rocks at that speed
man i'm more impressed with your driving skills, "PROPS" like the man say badass boat!
I’d have to agree! Even though we are watching through the GoPro, watching your throttle control and water awareness was pretty impressive! Even though I’m not a go fast kinda guy, I’d ride shotgun with you anytime! And to listen to that merc wind out was SICK! Cool vid!
Let it eat ☠️☠️☠️☠️ 😮😮😮
That got me excited enough to call my girlfriend up to see if i could come over..Fish on!
The only thing he reeled in that day were the other boats🤔
What kinda top end speed we’re u seeing there
Mid 90's most of the way.
The mother trucker is screaming like a demon out of Hell. ❤
