I'll believe it when I see it. Let's see some video of the boat with GPS shots of the speed. I'd think a tank like a 35' Viking would stop pushing water at some point. What props are you swinging to get that sort of speed????
@jrodnj yes sir. i was hittin 42mph. i blew the port engine 3 months ago, and decided to take the 454's out. i found a pair of 502's for $5000. put a fuel-injection conversion on them (custom kit) and had them dynoed ($500) at roughly 775hp each. yes. they will suck on fuel, but i should be able to pull a set of ski's. i'm getting built tranny's next month. kinda runnin low on funds! lol the engines were turning 5800 WOT when hitting 42 mph. it is possible.
Ha that is legit! Those 3208's were putting about 375 hp at peak performance. at the time of sale they prob were not putting out nearly that much. prob 325 ish... needed OH'ed
yea. 45mph is movin in that boat too! haha i built the motors myself though. each is putting out around 500hp . i have a little over 1000hp in the stern. thats why i can go 45mph. haha
@jn20000 you are FoS, sport. Why lie? What did it get you? Maybe you tricked a 10yr old....that make you a "big man"? pfffft.

There is no way you run 40 knots. Not possible
