Possibly the fastest mono in the world and it was only on 4s.

I watched the first NAMBA 100+ mph FE mono record at the LA SAWs in 2014, 108+ mph on either 8S or 10S. The record has been raised since then in Europe. The boat in the video is quick and may be the fastest you?ve seen, but it?s nowhere near 100 mph. Cool video though, thanks for posting.

I am posting this video to give you guys a better idea of the area the previous boat covered.
The boat I said is possibly the fastest mono in the world covered the area so fast combined with the fact that they was alot of zoom on the video.
So you can see that the boat looks quick but you cannot appreciate what the boat is doing without seeing the area the boat covered.
By the way they is a race at a minute and 40 seconds into the video. The yellow boat is probably the second fastest 4s pursuit in the world after the one I posted first.Comment

Sounds like you owe it to us to go to the SAW races and get the numbers to back the claims. I bet people would stop questioning you then."Look good doin' it"
See the fleetComment

I was sponsored by TFL for a while. The first video is a terrible running Pursuit. I would put it in the mid 50's. Center of gravity too far aft or the strut angle is off. Without running it through the traps there's no way to know for certain.
Still love my Pursuits. Easy boats to drive. They do tend to speed wobble if run too loose though.Noisy personComment

I would wholeheartedly agree that your Pursuit is by far the fastest mono in your video
By virtue of your effort you have earned entrance into the coveted ZSP/WTS* ranks
*(ZoomSplashPlop/What'sThat Smell)
Here's Ralphie in 2014 :
Ralph in 2020 :Mono Record at 121.7 mph / fast pass 126.7
C'mon to the next NAMBA SAWs - I'll buy you lunch if you beat Ralph's latest record-even if you don't -'Tho I'd suggest you first iron out some stability issues
BTW your run area is gorgeous !Last edited by properchopper; 03-08-2021, 06:46 PM.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap

The second one the gps is mph, not kph. Secondly I have varified that that gps reads low that my suv's speedometer. And it also reads lower than the garmin gps by 3 mph. So the second is really 65 to 66mph on 4s.
The first one is so fast that if the second was racing it the 2 boats would not be on the same frame for the video on a 1 to 1 setting.
My motor is a leopard 4092 rewinded to a really high kv. Pulling like 400 amps plus peak on 4s.
The other pursuit is running a bigger motor with an even higher kv.
Not sure of his kv but I am guessing around 50000 rpm on 4s. And we are not running no small props either.
Theses motors are super powerful motors.
It would probably take a 2260/4 lehner to compete with my rewinded leopard 4092 on 4s.
And you might need a 2280/3 lehner to compete with the motor in the black pursuit.
The black pursuit gps close to 80mph on gps on 4s. But I feel he doing more. He a distance of over 500 feet in the video.
The camera man had zoom in on the boat so the distance does not look nowhere as long as it really is.
And if you look at time on the video you will realize that boat covered the distance super quick.
So just as it look super quick is really is super quick.
So do the maths picture a neu 1527 2300kv on 6s with one of those abc 1814 17 45 props. In a 32 inches carbon fiber pursuit. Imagine how fast that would be with some super powerful lipos and everything properly soldered. That should give a better picture of what that guy boat is doing on 4s.Comment

I saw a guy run a lehner a 2240 5 turn the one thats rated at 2958kv loaded on 6s in a revolt 30 with an x640. And I must say that revolt was fast but nowhere close to the speeds of that black pursuit on 4s.
So thats a 80000rpm unloaded setup that can compete with some 4s setups that we have.Comment

OP, you can make all the claims you want, but there is a reason that there are governing bodies which verify boat speed records. The current NAMBA SAW record for a P mono is 80.6 mph. That is far far faster than the boat in the video. It is a verified speed through measured traps, not a silly GPS reading. If you want to claim ?fastest in the world? then you have to come to a sanctioned event and prove it.
Talk is cheap, and GPS speeds - as you yourself claim - are suspect.

I will share the kv of my rewinded leopard 4092.
The kv is 2752. It revs 45000rpm unloaded on 4s. And I am running a modified x450 octura prop.
So thats a long can motor with a lot of rpm with a modified x450. That my 65mph 4s setup.
The other pursuit have a much more powerful motor than mine. Longer can with an even higher kv.
And it not a tp it an even more powerful motor.
I think the prop was an abc 1814 17 45.
I sharing my setup so you guys will have an idea what to try.
My leopard would need 8mm connects for how much strans of wire it has. Way bigger than any regular leopards.Comment

For reference,
H&M Mono, 3060 Lehner spinning a X457, unloaded RPM's 40k+ range.
speed in that video around 85mph. has done more with some fine tuning.
Filmed by mother from shoreline, im out in my zodiac...
Manuel has a 100mph+ mono for sale ready for someone to rig... I did consider it before my larger mono purchase.
Hpr 06 / 09 / 150 /185, Mhz Skater H45 hydro.
