:laugher: He says "this boat should do 100mph" :laugher:

 

Cig with tails :laugher:


Maybe the tails flap for more speed :laugher:

 

Right

 

Look at the details, it's a rare cigarette JET boat. :laugher:

 

His hull is "over 2 inches thick"!!! :laugher: With that heavy of a hull, he "thinks" it should go 100 mph. Yeah right.

 

Wonder if the duct tap will hold at those speeds?

 

LMFAO!

 

100mph with out a tie bar would be interesting also. Love those custom fuel lines, Mike.

 

I love this part "... This was a boat that was built those years for a certain purpose to get product from destination to another fast in rough open ocean without getting caught. ..."

 

look, its another one of those 100 mph Alpha equiped boats!

I didn`t think that there was a first one ..... :yak: :yak:

 

The starboard engine has a dual-line Holley carb (probably 750 cfm) with an "interesting" fuel hose.

The port engine has a single-line Holley carb (probably 600 cfm).

And what`s with all that silver duct tape ??

 

:laugher: :laugher:

I think what DonMan meant was that there never was PROOF of a 100 MPH Alpha boat, TrippleDigits included, and therefore a reasonable man would conclude that the 100 mph Alpha is a myth.....

 

I dont believe it will run 100 mph but the engine may be the same as I have, GM crate motor which is a 358 and puts out 400 HP and 400 lbs torque...used in dirt cars as sealed crate motors. But the rest of the add seems that the guy is fishing for ideas....dont think he knows all of what he is talking about.

 

The trailer is a nice fit too! I like the oversized wheels and tires, a baseball bat would help flare out the fenders for that real custom look. Bow stop? We don't need no stinkin' bow stop! :dead1:

 

lol....the bow stop thing is funny, but I believe he just painted the trialer and is more than likey still working on it.....but that is funny

I wish a had a little extra jingle in my pocket! I would love to bust that "myth"!!

Yes, that is what I meant. I heard about the TD thread and now he has shown up on another site that I frequent (powerboatparty.com) boasting about his 100 mph boat. He did post a video of it idling on the hose . . .

Guys --- please, let`s not get into another debate. The guy is gone and let`s let his memory fade away. I wasn`t trying to get anything started. I was just attempting to be funny.

 

that "thing" would be lucky to be in the low 70's depending on what kind of power is actually in there....

 

does anyone know actually what the hell it is??? IS it really a cigarette hull?!?!

looks like a carrera, or corsa based on the deck, looks like a pantera bottom.

 

What a tool.

Needs a little work? That thing is a turd. Needs MUCHO work.

I bet the can of krylon spray paint on the front of the trailer is the same can used to paint the outdrives, and trailer.

 

Not that it matters,but Chevy actually did build a 400 ci small block back in late 70's or early 80's. I had a new El Camino then with one. It was a bored out small block,bored so far that the cylinders were siamised,shared the same water jackets between cylinders. Supposed to have been prone to overheat but mine never did. Only reason I am posting this useless piece of info is because it's a slow day at the boat store

Yes I know they did, but the 400 was balance externally and I dont think he has that for the boat...he may but I dont think he does, of course he doesnt really know what he has.
