nova Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 You would need a 40 HP for a trolling motor;lol www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I hope those are 4 stroke engines... or you'd spend the whole weekend just mixing gas and cleaning spark plugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipLip Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 There's some serious mechanic work behind that motor set-up. Doesn't look like the type of boat I would want to go 100 in! I guess if your on crack it feels slow:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 2,000 HP Outboard Inflatable .. Here's the latest drug runner toy from Europe . This thing raced across the English channel 3 times per week and was just a blur on the radar of the British Coast Guard. They were so astonished by the speed of the unknown craft, they brought in a special high speed helicopter to chase it. Drugs were found on board. You'd have to be on drugs to put the throttle down on this thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdooradvantage Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Very cool looking boat, just ashame what it was used for. A lot of thought went into that boat.

Spike-A-Pike Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 What a nice looking boat Pete. It looks like the entire front deck is a storage locker. What are those items along the gunwales? Hope it gives you hours of enjoyment on the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuskyGary Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 On that drug boat; could you imanage trying to cross the Canadian border with that? They would have you pulled over for twelve hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Yes, but how would they stop it, on what part of the shore would they stand waiting???.pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bait Co. Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think it would have been cheaper and faster to put three or four Chevy 383 strokers in it. Better they got caught anyways then ruin another kids life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 If it's uncontrollable speed your looking for, mount a couple of J-79s jet engines (the ones used by the F-4 Phantom) and a 10,000 pound fuel tank (just half of what the F-4 carried without external tanks). Getting it to go wouldn't be a problem, keeping it from flipping might be a little tough and stopping it might take a mile or so; but eventually, you'd get the hang of it.

willie525 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 they should make a canal in those big salt flats in Utah and see how fast it will really go. or take it to the great lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
