And any other old hot rodders and boat lovers. It's a 1974 Rayson-Craft V-Drive Drag Boat that has been restored. Some of you wanted to see more after I posted a video of her maiden voyage.

80 that moving on water

20 seems to be about as slow as it likes to keep running

so much for slow no wake zones , just hope you can be loaded and gone before the warden catches up with you


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

It idles at 1000 rpm after it's warmed up, I don't make a bigger wake than a waverunner. No reason to fear the law, I didn't do anything wrong.

Could not use that boat in Minnesota ; cause there is no mosquito screen on the front.

Was waiting for a camera shot of the motor….by the whining sound…..it’s either a gear drive….or a Blowah on there…? A cup of Coffee and some throttle therapy…is a good way to staaht any day !

Here you go Nessie, V-Drive is right beside you and the prop release makes a lot of noise.

Very nice ride. Tim Allen would be proud.

What is it capable at full sustained WOT ? ( plus zero chop and maybe a good tailwind )

Thanks, I am not sure it has much more, flat bottoms get sketchy quick so I was ready to let off. I am not looking to add more speed, it's plenty fast for this old man.

Agreed. Flat bottoms are sketchy and highly unstable. Fast as heck but loose. Plus getting out of sorts at that speed (80+mph) has a high lethality probability on the water.
