Wow! That's awesome.
I'm sure he has a very low water pickup.

If that is a stock unit, and I'm sure that it is, he either has made a low pickup or he using a pitot off of the transom.Gardner Miller

We have propped out dozens of rigs powered with the big Honda OB's. They are painfully slow compared to the Mercury, Evinrude (2 strokes) and even the Suzuki 250 4 strokes. This dude is operating at 7% slip if the 6000 rpm rev limiter is still present. All I have to say is congrats!! If he would have started with something else his 100mph quest would have been much easier. (and yes he has to be using a LWP in the boat bottom, prob like we use on the offshore powerboats)
