2 2500 horse power engines. 2500x2=5000.

No the boat in the video didn't make 10000hp. Proabaky not even 1000. Just like I said

You said that was mostly incorrect. Which it isn't. Then you wrote a story to try to confuse the matter. Now we are back where we started and youre still just spouting bullshit but at least your reading it from an actual website instead of making it up as you go.

Don't waste your time on his BS Corndogs, I have forgotten more about HP in boats than he will ever know and don't feel compelled to prove or substantiate it.

Oh fuck, here we go. Are you associated with Arneson?
And you call yourself "boatninja" ?
For gods sake....why ?

I wouldn't exactly call Arneson drives and surface piercing props conventional props.
The post that started all this shit and I threw the BS flag on was not a 10,000Hp boat, maybe a 1000 HP boat and the person that started said BS has already backtracked.
And who the fuck are you to call on God, a preacher or something? I'm not sure why you want to call God into this and personally find it offensive.
I don't really feel compelled to list my qualifications, but depending on which part of the boat business you are referring to there are few living people that can compete.
If you are with Arneson and have been for over 40 years, PM me, I ran sea trials on a boat with some of your first drives around Fort Lauderdale out of Derektor Gunnels in the 80's, I would love to talk to you.
Otherwise I'm done with this.

With Arneson....no, not only no, but fuck no.
I don't do Atlantic or Gulf waters....because there is no water.
When you can wade from the beach and go 1/2 mile offshore and still be in waist deep water ?
That ain't ocean, it's a puddle.
I used Arneson as an easy example since I didn't want to boggle you with Bravo drives, air sifted Turbo 400's, and V-drives.

I played with the big boys, none of those weenie quad outboard things you think are boats back east.
Our main competition was Vic Edelbrock.
In unlimited we ran a 48' Skater cat, in the limited we ran a 44' Fountain.

Wanna see the little boat ?
24 foot Schiada, Donovan powered.
We raced this on the Colorado river...Lake Mead, Lake Mojave, etc ski races.
Yea, pulling a skier at 170+++ mph, quite the rush.

BTW, I couldn't give a god damn what you consider offensive.
Evolve.

You pulled a water skier at 170?
Pics please. :)))
 


I was there watching that....

What is the world record for water skiing speed?


The fastest water skiing speed recorded is 230.26 km/h (143.08 mph) by Christopher Michael Massey (Australia) on the Hawkesbury River, Windsor, New South Wales, Australia on 6 Mar 1983. His drag boat driver was Stanley Charles Sainty.

How much HP did the boat put out?
 
Crazy how things change. Nobody is going to be happy in the high 4s anymore. We watched the first sub 4 second runs for funny car and top fuel at Bandimere around 2012. That a mile or so above sea level.
Brittany at Bristol this past June on Friday night.

3.74 at 334 set a new record for Bristol at 1000 ft.
Mike Salinas was the first to go 300 mph at the 1/8 mile marker in September this year.
Anyone seen a dyno for a 10,000 HP motor?
I've watched them test and tune NASCAR motors and several pro stock motors on a Dyno but not a top fuel motor

I never back tracked, ol boy came in full retard talking about unlimited hydroplanes with turbines that run in circles….not even remotely the same class, so I said the numbers they run while still talking about drag boats at one point.

I seem to be the only one not confused here. two people have posted info backing up what I said trying to prove me wrong. You were talking to me, I’m keeping up with three people, and one can’t even figure out we are in agreement.

if y’all want to argue at least keep the fuck up with the conversation 😆

What y’all are failing to realize in that gif is it isn’t a race it’s a bye run, or a test pass. they aren’t racing the other lane is empty and they aren’t running a full pass, guy lets off once it’s on plane . He pretty much did a 60ft pass in auto racing, but boats take off before the lights green and there’s a large gap between them and the beam so It’s longer than 60’ testing on a strip obviously. Its speculation the distance being tested, but he’s out of it well before a full run, the rooster tail drops pretty sharply because he let out.


Its hole shot testing. It isn’t a full length full throttle pass, they don’t put out 5 digit horse power at idle. He didn’t even need to pull his chutes he let off so early and as going so slow. thy are required in this class and you can see them on the back.

But what do I know right?
