I just watched the video that was a shit stack, at least it didnt land on the pipe side.

I thought 2 strokes where lacking in top end speed, 144 is pretty fast. Is that with standard gearing?

Even though this sounds huge for a boat, I think its pretty conservative, add a new cam, increase boost to about 25psi and rev it to about 7500-8000rpm, I reckon upwards of 2500hp, but it might only last for one run or one minute!

And they already do 110mph, not many people could hang on for long at much faster speeds.

However they work they are pretty awesome. And the people hanging off the back are pretty insane.

I guess if you got the money to build a beast like that in the first place you probably have a lot of money to spend on dyno time before it even gets near the boat, this dyno time can be used to figure out the best flow.

Some of the big races like the bridge to bridge take up to an hour to complete and the same boat may make more than one run (for different class skiers), so I beg to differ about wear rates, plus you’d at least want your engine to last a whole season.

By the time you got there and back to Canberra the 4day would be over

What about ski boats?

I was at the ski boat racing the other day and there was a few twin turbo big block boats, one was 525 cubes, 16psi boost, only reving to 6600rpm making 1800 hp.

With unlimited cold water for cooling how do they regulate engine temp? And how do they find the perfect temp?

Plus a tricked out motard version, complete with Jappo number plate!

KTMs new electro dirt bike, it looks pretty good compared to those other douche bag models.

Accidents happen, ive come across hunters a few times whilst out riding and wondered where the stray bullets end up. I hope my helmet is bullet proof.

I was just on the phone with Bob and he mentioned he didnt have a fuel buddy, but he knew TB would sort it out.
