Boat racing

[Will Carter]

I may have posted this before...but whenever someone is ready to organize this I'm in. I'll help organize, to the extent that I can still race without the competition whining.



I'm going to pick up a jon boat for me and the girls to go riding/fishing in for the summer. I may or may not be already thinking about reinforcing it to handle about 30hp or so...

@Will Carter get something going, me and @Junkyard Dog would be down. There are a few places on the Cape around Sanford we could race down this way.

When I saw the video title "This Might Be the Wildest Boat Race on Earth", I immediately said "NOPE." and thought of:

I'm not dropping $100k on a racing jet boat. I'd drop $2k on a racing dinghy tomorrow if you told me there was 3 other dudes ready to go racing.

And I could fish in my dinghy.

I'm in .

I can't figure out why they would wear a helmet. Lol. That's the fastest John boat I've ever seen for sure.

My little brother has a 16' John boat with a 25hp and that thing will get it. No mods, just an old riveted boat with tiller steer.

Step dad holds the record for worlds fastest bassboat. Dont remember the exact class. Think his record is 116 but has ran over 121. Names David Shook. He had an allison

It's a family oriented sport.

 

[sawdoff]

What does that one mean?

It means I just told Dylan about buckling down and taking care of some things before getting back into racing and then i post a link on how I want to go racing.

But this is a leisure craft first and foremost and a death machine second.

K. Dont understand all the emojis. Thought id ask what it meant. Found this on Shooks run.

These!



My dream job / career would be to do something in auto and marine. That being said, I wish NC had more power boat races. We have plenty of water!

US military test shows the A-10 'Warthog' can obliterate the small boat swarms that Iran uses

Made me think of this thread. This would have been awesome too.
