NEWS FLASH, PINK’S AT LAKE GEORGE

So if it is for who gets to the finish line first I know who it won't be. Good out of the hole but no lungs on the top end.

DON'T BE SCARED, I CALL HEAR IT IN YOUR VOICE.

And I'll be looking in the mirror the whole time.

DON'T FORGET, I WAS THE ONE TO TEACH THIS BABY TO WALK OR SHOULD I SAY RUN!!!!!

Didn't WSM put that boat slightly above 50 with the smaller engine? Shouldn't it hit low 50's? If that's the case Godfather, you may want to disqualify some of the older modified boats.

If by smaller, you mean the 390hp 6.0L rather than the 409hp 6.0L, then yes- I believe it topped out at 50.9mph. I think it would be a miracle if the 409 tops 52-53, which I think Joe should be able to do without any issue. I refuse to grind all of the hook out of my hull, so Im out of the running on top end for sure.

Tim, If 52-53 is the top then he's fair game for a couple of guys but I think he'll kill most on the holeshot. If the course is long enough he may be caught.

This could be a lot of fun, do we get to negotiate boat lengths? AND with or without the Bottle!!!!

Im guessing 51-52 is more likely, but Im not convinced the 6.0L will have much more out of the hole than the older Fords. Ive yet to drive one, but Ive heard that the 2 Chevies (330hp 350 and the 6.0L) are pretty comparable out of the hole, though the 6.0L rules on top. I can say for sure that on comparable hulls, the GT40 has it all over the Excalibur until you get above 40mph. The new boats come out of the water much quicker than the older ones, though.

Ken you have to be carefull these are all GPS numbers these guys are throwing out, But that launch video of the orange Crush is pretty impressive. Reid has a weight advantage and then if Marshell's will stay together long enough you could be looking at exhaust from a sixties model CC, lucky for you I believe Doc is leaving his down south this trip.

maybe this guy will show up put a correct craft decal and good to go

BUT CAPTAIN, I'M GIVING HER ALL SHE GOT!!!!

Let me tell you a little story, the orange Crush was tested with 2 people in the boat.

And we used GPS hand held and don't forget the ZERO OFF in this boat.

And then it was tested with the driver (only weighing 168lbs).

I was on the dock watching this beast, I am saving the first ride with Keith at LAKE GEORGE. And we will be back when we run out of gas!!!

Is somebody gunna be there with a GT-40 to line up with this bad boy?

He's in Reid's crew so you can assume he's probably getting in position to hit the double up.

Reid's classic is a '62, 46 years old.

Bruce: At least you're the kinda Dad that has them boating and skiing. For that you'll never be sorry.

BTW: Hope you know I was just kidding.

My favorite is the Mustang too....must be old guys=old boat.

John I know you're kidding, and old guys does=old boat. That Classic of Reids got to be one of the nicest CC in existance.
