Work trip, some high dollar machinery


Total Sign

Recommended Posts

"Had" to go out to Missouri for "work" last weekend. Lake of the Ozarks has a big boat shootout every year. Last year a boat with twin turbines ran 205.

 

Dont have a ton of pics uploaded, if anyone is interested in seeing more, Ill add them up.

 

This boat is a 44 MTI (bare hull is about 260k). Had twin 1500hp blower motors. The guy came up with the idea last summer, and put on a bet with a friend of his on weather he could get it done by the Miami Boat show (Feb). The rumor is, the bet was a $100,000 bet.

360, that speed racer boat has 1.2 million into it. Plus, they guy decided to hire in a film crew to film everything from deciding which company to have build it to it on the water.

 

That white boat behind the girl is for sale, it is an 04, guy wants 450k, which is a steal. He probably paid around 700 for it.

Twin turbines, 1600hp, includes a transmission, installation, gauges, etc. 150k each. In a 51' boat, with the AC on, he ran 120mph.
