I just checked out hotboat.com. How come we don't have a bikini archive?

We do, on this thread.

Thanks Ruune! Time to get more contributions to the archive!

I am assuming you would keep that boat in AZ or somewhere? There's nowhere to really drive one of those boats around here. I know a guy who has an DCB F29 and he keeps it at his 2nd home in Lake Havasu. My other "buddy" sold his Eliminator 36' Race boat back to the original owner after taking it to Horsetooth and realizing that with both motors running he was barely idling at the 40 mph speed limit! It did 147mph at LOTO shootout 2 years ago though...

Pics so you can drool....

I have seen that last boat in my neighborhood a few times,I wonder if that is the same boat?

It probably is! The guy that bought it back lives in Texas, his name is Mike if I remember right. Trying to remember what truck he has/had. I think he has a white Dodge that's lifted. It's a full race boat, 2 seats and controls and that's about it - No cushy interior or anything like that. You'll know if you see/hear it on the lake! Twin GT 1,000 HP (N/A) race motors running on 105 octane gas! Thing is bad azz!!!

It was very out of place at our local lake and the Ranger's were just chomping at the bit to bust him for opening it up.

You might check on www.offshoreonly.com my husband is a member there, they seem to be up on anything that happens in the high performance industry, I'm sure someone has posted something from the west coast.

I just saw this show "Build it Bigger" and they were talking about an offshore race boat that they put helicopter engines in.

LAKE ELSINORE

Three thrown into lake during boat mishap

A speedboat accident on Lake Elsinore that sent three people to the hospital Thursday was the result of an apparent mechanical malfunction, a police news release said.

The High Torque Marine tunnel-hull boat was driving fast on the west side of the lake's high-speed zone when it began turning to the right, the news release said. The driver, a 53-year-old Corona man, tried to slow the boat but was unable to do so. The boat turned abruptly and stopped, catapulting the driver and two passengers into the lake.

A passing boat pulled the driver, a 48-year-old woman and an 11-year-old girl from the water.

Lt. Dave Fontneau said not much traffic was on the lake at the time of the accident and the boat did not appear to have struck any other boats or objects.

Police ask that anyone who witnessed the crash call the Lake Elsinore Police Department at 951-245-3300.

My buddy owns a Mach 26 and has been thinking of upgrading to the 29. Very nice boats.

I want the 29 as well, with twin 700's and NXT drives. I think a buck 30 is fast enough for me. I've shown pics of my brothers f-32 on TO, which he's selling to get a new one with bigger motors. That's a major problem with go fast boats, you can always go bigger and faster. Maybe someday he'll have a turbine? I work with all my brothers, so it's boat talk all day here.

I'd like to have a 29 and an RZ2, then I'd have everything covered.

Did you have a go fast coach?
