Work has been extremely busy with the abnormal warm weather so we finally got a chance to pick through both the motors and get this bad boy back out on the water......

We took it easy on her since she was running off some remaining fuel from last September @ Lake Cumberland, KY. We seen around 115-120mph a couple times with plenty left in it.....Boat has seen 146mph on low fuel, spotter, and driver....hoping to possibly see 150+mph numbers after recalibration and tune up.

Specs:
33' Eliminator Daytona
Twin M4S Procharged 557ci Motors (1150hp each on low boost 12-14psi)

BOAT = Break Out Another Thou$and

In this case, Break Out Another Ten-K.

Beautiful boat! Would love to see pictures of the engines and legs. Or is it impeller driven?

I have more pictures and vids of it running. I'll post them later on.

Thanks for all the compliments...

@VTXFrank....you hit it head on...when it breaks it will empty out your pockets. Just fueling it cost a small fortune... It holds 200 gallons of fuel (93/110 mixture). We can drink that 200 gallons in a hour or two if the boat is being used hard.

I'm literally drooling right now! Oh, and your mountains aren't blue, brotha! I would love to pick me up something similar to that one day. I've been shopping around looking for a decently priced 06-07 Malibu Wakesetter. I don't know if I can pass on my financing options as of now. That my friend is a work of art....that's for sure!
