Allright, I get what you're after. Gps'ed the Moo boat at 76 MPH a few weeks ago at Bartlett. Thought it a fluke but verified it today at 78 mph. No pics of the gps tho, and didn't want to post because this all happened at around 4200 rpm with quite a bit of throttle and quite seemingly, power left!

I call Bullshit, or in this case, Cowshit

Not saying you're fibbing Ray, but I can't believe the MPH & RPM combo, sorry.

PS-Still love me?

78 southwind/460/75mph

Yes I do sugar, but unless my GPS is messing with me, tis what I read (could be, told me I had another hour to go to meet Jeremy earlier and it was less than half that, lol) Don't have one of those fancy ones like Brad has.

But it did it twice, the only times I've seen water smooth enough to try it, lol. I guess we'll see for sure in June!

Stock 502 in my 21' 2000 Commander with berk is just a tad faster than the Aquaholic. I didn't GPS mine but he did GPS his at 56/57. (He is going to love this post) HAHA

« **Reply #58 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:29:50 PM »

Ask Ralph what he thinks about GPS's

I know too, lol and I think Skip needs to ride the Moo before he says anything more about it, lmao. You guys have seen it run, well, kinda, not in it's current state!.

Ray

FWIW, I've found the speedo in it pretty damn accurate in the cars!

You sure you don't have it set on KM/H (kilometers per hour) ? 78 KM/H is 48.46 MPH, that's a little easier pill for me to swallow.

Sounds like a race is a-brewin

« **Reply #63 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:55:03 PM »

Yeah, I'm pretty sure, lol.

Tell you what Skip, Sweety, noones been in the boat when I've made these GPS attempts that even remotely doubts what they saw (They watch the GPS, I try and keep us alive) I could be off on the rpm, kinda hard to watch that and keep everyone safe on the lakes I been on, but I don't think so. I think I over built this thing, myself, for it's (well THEN) intended purpose.

C'mon down, or wait till June and see for yourself, I'll even let you drive it if you doubt this. I don't,

My son STILL will not ride in it if he see's me jacking up the throttle getting braver.

Ray

Mooooooo! lol

Maybe the speed is correct, but the tach is off. I ran 73 @ 4700 with a stainless A and an inducer.

We need to get Ray some safety gear and lets go roundy round.

this is my bet

Ray you would beat the shit out of my race boat if you can get it to run 5500 rpm

Lol! Let's go! Dunno if I wanna go out that way, but I'm in! Kids are away for the summer, got nothing but work and time on my hands, lol.

Ralph, I dunno, but the engine I'm guessing peaks at around 5900 rpm. I doubt seriously if the pump would keep going to that extreme. Why am I under the gun on this? This cannot be that unusual!.

Anyway, yeah, I think it's got more in it, I've run out of smooth lake and brave GPS holders to push it as far as it will go on every attempt, but I'm guessing it's an easy 80+ mph boat. And that is that. Sorry it looks like a cow guys, but it is what it is.

Ray- It's highly unusual, that's why I'm doubting it, but if you say it is, then it is. I don't want a ride in it, I don't want to drive it, I won't race it.

Obviously you built a very respectable engine, my hat is off to you.

I'm dying to know what's in the moo for an engine.

Ray are you going to Buena Vista? hope to see you there with your boat.

« **Reply #72 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:07:59 PM »

"'71 block, Ported police interceptor heads, Comp 292 extreme solid lifter cam, Roller rockers, screw it studs w/guideplates, TRW 2443 forged pistons, H-beam rods, Eddie Performer RPM intake and 750 Carb (will be replaced by Offy Tunnel and 2 750's if all works out ok for now, didn't want to sink EVERYTHING in 1 shot)

Ray"

Also running an "E" pump, I do know he's got 2 750 Vac secondary carbs on a TR now

« **Reply #73 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:38:28 PM »

LMAO you keep pretty close tabs! Went with a Weiand tunnel instead of the offy, other then that, very accurate Skip!
