200 MPH Hydro

[questtek]

A friend of mine showed me one of his newer toys today. The pictures say it all. The boat was clocked at 200 MPH, but my friend and boat owner, Don Cox, has only had the "GUTS" to push it to 175 MPH. The 900 HP engine has 18 lbs of boost plus Nitrous. It also has a two speed hydraulic transmission you throw into second at about 100 MPH. When you flip your FE hydro..........think about being in this beast at 200 MPH! Blood, Teeth and Eyeballs, all over the water. Bill Oxidean, Eat Your Heart Out!

PS, The boat will possibly be for sale next year so save our pennies....and get that multi-million dollar life insurance policy for your wife!

That coupler off of the lenco is beautiful!
Im surprised 900HP gets you 200 mph in a boat though...I would have thought it would take a lot more. Cool stuff!

I could not agree moe...His last boat had a cockpit capsule and when it flipped at 190 MPH it vaporized but the capsule saved him. Why he is doing this is absolutely beyone me.............but he craves speed.

Here is a bit of a dune buggy he now has for sale.............only 750 HP! I made a You Tube video on it today when I toured his "toy" shop.

I bet that 900 hp doesn't include the nitrous, and I bet he is spraying alot of it.

Hot Damn! I've done over 200 on a bike, cannot imagine doing it on water! Thats insane! I want to try it!
Very cool!

I've done 200 MPH on a simulator and THAT was enough for my adrenalin rush!

BTW, it's my understanding that most life insurance won't pay if you kill yourself in motorsports or skydiving.

[Rumdog]

Life insurance?! Whats that??

[siberianhusky]

Life insurance?
LOL my premiums would be out to lunch and probably will die of something not covered!
200 on a bike isn't bad, it doesn't really seem much faster than 100.
Went down at Mosport years ago doing around 100, Low sided it in a turn. Bruised up and cut my knee. Got up and walked away. Crashing a bike isn't bad if you don't hit anything! Slid across the grass for a long way, kept the arms and legs tucked in didn't roll or flop at all, stayed on my side and back.
Glad it was my rd350lc and not my zx6! Bars punched a hole in the tank and ground through the clutch cover.
All in all I can do without the experience again! I'm much older now and don't heal as quick!
Now I stick to karts!
