Or better yet 3 of them on the back of a 42' CC with an 11' beam, 80+ mph. $200k+ just for the motors.

Just the sound of 3 of them is crazy ...

I think they have reached the top for a toon. At LOTO last year when he hit 112mph, everyone thought he was going to blow ove, including him. I think he only made that one run, and either he didnt want to make another, or they wouldnt let him. Either way. I think however much HP he had, is just about it for a toon hull. JT

Rest assured, South Bay, Manitou, Premier and all the other high performance Pontoon manufacturers are looking at these.

Based off a Government Motors powerhead, no thanks. If they make a 667 based off Shelby then my interest will be peaked! Heck a N/A 447 based off the 5.0 would be a nice motor too, then my boat could match the tow rig!
