A friend of mine has an Allison XB2002 with a 245 Mercury, with 2 people, over 230 each, and all the fishing gear, it'll do 104 in water as smooth as you see here in this video. Great bass boat and will haul ass when he wants.

Good friend has a 1969 Kingman flat bottom and he has a 350 Chevy that came out of his 70 z28 and I tell you that boat flew and he still has it those where the days your boat super hot thanks for showing

You were doing 60 on that ski and that flatbottom wasn't breaking a sweat with the plate down just Cruising..no jet boat can compare to a v drive prop boat. A thrill of a ride in a flatbottom. My father called it clinching some seat cover when he would drop the plate and smash that pedal

Yeah glad you got a chuckle from that. My father has a 1968 howard its also yellow with a wood deck. He named it buttercup. He used to tow it with a black c10 shortbed( aka blackjack) back in the day when he drag raced it. I showed him the video he said Sanger are fast boats and a lot lighter than old buttercup. Best of luck out there 👍

Love a Jet Boat over these

Very cool boat and looks like a nice setup. I have a 22 ft Donzi with a 502 bored.030 good AFR heads and and 8-71 roots style blower it making around 700 hp, I do have methanol injection when the time comes to push it harder but my boat will run low 92 mph gps with the prop I am running and its and out drive I believe a sportsmaster its setup so the top of the prop is 1" underwater at cruise. My exhaust is similar to this one just water injected headers I love the boat great engine and runs strong but my boat design is old and the boat with fuel is 5000 pounds. I dont like this part but just about any good boat with a big outboard is going to be faster than I am and they are going to burn half the fuel. It makes me think sometimes??

@thehillbillyhierarchy

92 MPH is plenty fast enough! That is a big boat and a lot of weight to push, i'd love to have something like that! I bet it handles the chop pretty well. Not too many outboards are running in the 90's around us :)

@@thehillbillyhierarchy Thanks for the comment and opinion and I do agree presently I am running a 32" pitch prop and believe I could run up to a 33.5 with pulley change on blower and get the methanol injection going I would have enough HP to pull it but like you said and again I agree I think 92 is plenty fast enough and if some tunnel comes by me running a pair of 450R engines thats just the way it is!

He does have that prop so its time for a gearing change. As far as he knows, its still on the original 1:1 ratio. we were running at 7k rpm at that speed so it needs the gearing change at this point. He is building a new motor for it over the winter so he's going to have some more RPM to work with. Good to know there is plenty of room to grow...122MPH would be insane! Thanks for the comment.
