LOTO Shootout

[osur866]

The big Outterlimits with 1650 a side V at 149 was cool to watch

Not bad at 1700 a side at 195 for piston engines...

Gotta LOVE Johnny T repping the U!!

From Speed on the water.. I think once the 6800 HP Mystic gets dialed in it is going to be sick. UNDER propped with 37" wheels?

1. My Way Runs 224 mph: You could almost hear the crowd in the spectator fleet roar back at Captain Ron's Bar and Grill when it was announced on the televised Shootout broadcast Bill Tomlinson's 50-foot Mystic catamaran posted a remarkable top speed of 224 mph. And Tomlinson and his throttleman Ken Kehoe went out for another pass—216 mph for the record—because they thought the boat, the fastest boat in the history of the Shootout, had more.

2. Outerlimits SV 43 Runs 152 mph: Mike Fiore, the owner and founder of Outerlimits now has two of the fastest V-bottoms in the history of Shootout—the canopied SV 43 with Mercury Racing 1350s he ran with its owner Joe Sgro to 152 mph, and Dave Scotto's open-cockpit SL 52 with Mercury Racing 1650s Fiore ran solo to 150 mph.

3. Rowland Runs 114 mph: What's so impressive about that number? Rowland laid it down in a South Bay pontoon boat with triple 300-hp Mercury Verado outboard engines, beating his old Shootout pontoon-class record of 112 mph.

4. Onken's Mystic Runs 186 mph: Freshly rigged and barely run, Don Onken's 50-foot Mystic catamaran with twin 3,400-hp V-16 supercharged engines made its first pass this morning. Mystic founder and owner John Cosker throttled the boat with Myrick Coil on the steering wheel, and they found themselves underpropped and on the rev limiters with their 37-inch-pitch wheels.

5. Speedonthewater.com Rides in Sterling 1700-Powered Skater: Yesterday, John Tomlinson and Myrick Coil piloted a 36-footSkater catamaran with its pair of much anticipated 1,700-hp Sterling Performance engines to a class-winning top speed of 195 mph. This morning, speedonthewater.com's Jason Johnson and I took a ride in the cat with Tomlinson and Mike D'Anniballe of Sterling, and the experience was like nothing either of us have ever had before on the water. Look for a complete feature on the remarkable 36-foot project boat and its power in the Nov./Dec. issue of Speed On The Water magazine.

WOW! Only 190mph faster than my Whaler. By the way, is there a Whaler class at LOTO? If so, I'm gonna hang a jackplate and a 50 on the back and let 'er eat.

Go Fast Disneyland ....... Nice Neighborhood you have there Steve.

[osur866]

Come out anytime Mike, you'd have a blast

[The Hedgehog]

That Sterling boat was off the hook. That's nuts for a piston boat!

The Shootout was one heck of a time!

Dre's ZR rocks!

OK, so what was the speed for the class a 22' Classic would run in? Those 150mph + boats are incredable and to think if you have the dollars, anyone can walk into a dealership, plop down the money and buy one. No disrespect to those who can, but a fast boat can be just as dangerous as a gun in the wrong hands.

I believe the 22 V class winner came in at a whopping 66 mph ..

Maybe I should take the Cig back next year...

So then it appears that we have a number of Donzi owners who could take that crown if they so desired to do so. A bone stock 22 Classic does low 70s. Maybe we should all chip in to sponsor an owner of a 22 Classic and put the Donzi name on the winners list at LOTTO next year?

I nominate Stan, it would be just the kick in the a s s he needs to get the bloody thing finished.

PPG, Home Depot and all the resin and sandpaper manufacturers in the USA could sponsor it...

Lenny, You now it has to be perfect or my cahoons will be busted. I sent one picture of the SS rub rail and everyone starts in, so I reordered $400 more of it . Try bending 1 " arched Stainless for the bow and corners !!! It will be ready for LOTO and we expect to see 71 mph if all goes well. On my way to Florida to get the tranny done and then the engine will go in. Engine is done ..wiring is done.. the bolster is in .. and 100 "Homer buckets" are ordered for all the B.S. I'm going to hear.. Here's proof that work is getting done
