    Jay lovelace Down here in NC is my boy ever heard of him? I also have been doing car audio for over 20 years. I can say this spl vehicles are about the only ones where you see way more power than these boats do. I mean ive yet to see a car amp with a 300 amp fuse in it. I mean 50 volts @ 200-300 amps is nothing to slight.Jay won the worlds with 16 strokers a mmatts amps back when he did it. Im a JL /Hifonics freak series 8 and 7 the zed audio stuff not the well u know what it is.The pioneer stuf is impressive too.

      You cant sit and listen to a vehicle with 162.9 db youre getting to where you couldnt breath out.U must have been outside to listen for sure. Never cared much for a loud burp. I always liked sq myself. Big USD fan I even have two pairs of waveguides here now.Later this summer im goint to do a sick av install on my 83 245 intercooled turbo volvo wagon.It damn near race ready. O ringed ,blueprinted, custom pistons hybrid turbo the works. Hopefully u guys will catch it on another site.

                      Paint is allmost complete

                      Stopped by the paint shop today to check out the base coat . Going to get some light purple pearl gost flames and some details to make it more scale looking.

                          rearwheelin you are my new idol. you could prob pull a water skier with your boat. lol.
                          cant wait to see this with 4 1515s. i think will be just ridiculously fast.
                          may be a stupid question but all i see are twin drives and now quad drives from (the man aka rearwheelin) but would a tri-drive work??? 1 on each side and 1 center??
                          ps rearwheelin i envy your skills!!! boat looks amazing!!!
                          thanks

                            LOL ! Thanks for the coment , I'm only determined to build my idea, the truth told there are many more talented builders than myself, I only threw my idea together with the best of what I know and tried to think every aspect of it threw before I started the build. I am very pleased with the results
                            The tri drive was considered but opted for a more balanced boat. It might do really well on a oval but doubt a twin, quad or a tri would ever out corner a single. I will give it a shot though with the quad though.
