    Ultimat bass boat?

    happened across a copy of 'powerboat' magazine they had tested 3 cats...this one seats 4, and does approx 170mph! http://www.powerboatmag.com/44-mti-2008.html
    course I couldn't help wondering just where could you drive such a beast .

    My local pond could handle it

    (Gulf of Mexico)
    The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

      The lake I go to is about 30 miles long. With that boat you would run out of space rather quickly!!!

        There are several places here in Washington where people drive/own those... The best by far is Lake Rosevelt:

        Lake Roosevelt, WA

        They are also on Lake Chelan:

        Lake Chelan, WA

        And of course, Lake Washington:

        Lake Washington

        Lake Washington can get a little crowded... Lake Roosevelt has MANY, MANY miles of wide-open water and they definately get up to speed there! This is where our family likes to go camping: http://www.tworiverscasinoandresort.com/marina.html

          The Lake shootout has a 1 mile run and Callan got it to 209. Most run the 150 mph - 170. Videos are on my site. Anymore with the new motors they have from the factory many cats are capable of running 150 mph...but plan to spend closer to $800,000 - 1 mil to own one.

            If I remember correctly, Washington inland speed limits are 110mph...And the only place I could see that is on the Western side of Mercer island past 520 to about where Kenmore is. Lol
