Jeff,
if you have read all 19 pages of what started as a simple little check out my video thread, you will be doin 97+ with a 225 with still more to go but runnin out of room. lots opinions but seems not much proof to back it up .as far as speeds that some guys say they are runnin. (pics of gps recall). except for me! the guy in the vid. :razz
JR has run high 90,s in his 225 GS. Then slows a bit and flings her around so shes midair backward for fun!!
JR, check out my pics earlier on in the post...didn't do anything permanent and it uses no head unit. Self powered, self contained amp, and Ipod or phone, or mp3 only. :beer:
Key word here is "heard" Not saying he didn't, but 110 with (4) aboard is just plain stupid. (and not in the good way. :shock
whos boat is that sure looks sweet! just like mine.well i hope thats true!!!! because if it is, then the new jsre 260 i got pushin 340hp should put me at 118 and 115 with 4 on board:big grin hell i maybe can go and even compete with the xr"s at the drags!!!JR has run high 90,s in his 225 GS. Then slows a bit and flings her around so shes midair backward for fun!!Fastest GS ive ever heard of does 112mph and 110mph with 4 aboard. But the motor was a 300PM turnning a 34P drag4.:shock: I wonder were this boat is now??
Have you ever been in a GS when the tail lifts? I don't thing that you want to be doing SS/XR type speeds when it happens. I think that Jeff has reached the limitspeed on his, according to Daris. Bad things happen in GSs when they lift, due to their big, fairly light hulls. You can tell when it is trying to lift going into a headwind because it starts to Paddlewheel real bad.
hey jr, i guess you couldnt tell by my post i was kiddin a bit.maybe even being very slightly sarcastic. didnt you see the smile face. i have been in an xr at 117mph! it was 1991 on a warm august evenin. it was a 88 xr2002 center steer ,center rear. had a brigeport 2.4 mod carb mota, xr6 gear case .30p dont remember what brand. owned by steve panico long island boy. yeah i was in it!!! looked over his shoulder gps digital said 117.2 dont care who on this forum believes me. that boat did 122 on radar by himself. when he first got it it was side steer he could do 109 with it on its side. just talked with him about it the other day. and come to think of it i had no life vest on. crazy things back in my younger days
That wouldnt even be to bad for a YTube vid. Last time I saw that many hits on a thread as fast as this one was when some one said a Bullet was faster than an Allison.
unch:beer::gone fishing
That could be an interesting discussion also. The difference an Allison makes all power being equal side steer vs Center steer for speed?? Ill start a thread right now on that one.
Go to the beginning of the post it is now 3,077 hits in 20 days and still going....o my...its like the Ever Ready bunny that keeps on going and going...:big grin
i agree, never said they were similar. steve would never let any body drive the xr. back in 05' or 06' he sold it to his nephew. probably cause the transom was soft. i think they were wood ? well i got to drive it. first time behind the wheel of an allison ever in my life(in 2006) and got it to 90mph.it was center steer.with a stock 2.4 bridgeport.(i had a 87 valero 2.4 mod vp bout twenty years ago(1991))always wanted too but never did drive an allison way back then (1991). dont know what prop the kid had on it i think the setback and plate were the same. but i will say it was alot easier to drive than a gransport.
