Re: Catch Me If U Can.....For the Boaters !!!.

I would be first in line to buy it ...... hehehe, with my experience with ribs, my calculations with weight and a full gas tank of about 1000 litres (264 gallons) with the weight of the dope and the motors plus about 6 people and the power of the motors at WOT I would say they would get about 250 mph minimum ...... but that is just a quick calculation and a shot in the dark .......

Staggered height would be due to the V-bottom.

All the chopper had to do was keep it in sight until the boat ran out of fuel.
