Nice, I have a 21' Hallett 210 (no kidding) that I'm having a 496 stroker motor (625hp) built for - also looking for about 90.

Check out this video:

40 Skater, twin quad-rotored, 1400 hp motors. Hit 160 on this ride, but saw 171 a couple of months ago.

Yup, poker run at Lake Havasu, Arizona (Colorado river on the California/Arizona border).

People have been coming from all over the nation, with ungodly amounts of horsepower, trying to take my friend Gary out (for bragging rights) - but at the end of the day, he's always top dog on the lake.

Boats are truly the last frontier of high horsepower fun - where else can you legally run at 200+- in a public forum?

Thanks for the pics.

Ah man, i diddn't know you were friends with the guy, you've actually been on the boat?? That must be the most unbeliveable ride of anyone's life, i've always wanted to go on some kind of cat at 100+ mph. We do the Hudson River and Long Island Sound Poker Run. The hudson we can keep up with 85% of the pack as the conditions are usually pretty calm, but the sound can get nasty and the big boys just fly thru it. I'll take some pics of the interior of the pantera, my father redid the entire dash and such. He's amazing at fiberglass work. He mad a complete custom carbon fiber race hatch for it too, hehe.

This isn't me in the photo, I'm the one who took it. That's what sucks about being the photo guy - you never have them of yourself!

I'm one of the organizers of the poker run, so "ive had the opportunity to ride on several really fast boats. I'm a lucky guy!
Let's see the photos.
