Ok...the real deal with this thing is that 3bp's already owns the 3.1 and wants to use his own shit in case anything goes wrong. Otherwise I wouldn't have given him the parts to make it a 20". You've all seen the velocity project so you know that his money and attention is focused on his REAL boat...so the project is more about getting on the water CHEAP for next summer rather than proving JC's theories...
Don't let the reality kill the thread though lol....it's not going to see a 2.6 or 100mph lol...but the boat will truck for less than $1000 investment.

1st. if a 245 merc takes a vking in the high 90's then i believe it does 99 with an 250XS
a 245 makes more power than the XS and is like 475lbs lighter....2nd. Clearly you and rick are made for each other.
ah...ya...great minds and all that3rd. who knows in till Jordan try's?
we all know this isn't the first vking with a 3L...it'll work fine...it just won't be as balanced or as easy to drive as the smaller motor..4th. should he not try it because people don't thing it will work? or should he give the general boating community a wealth of information on these new waters he will be testing?
pulease....5th. once he bolts on his HT stuff minus the porting he will have close too a 300hp and hes already got the Salt water ECU because its a salt water motor.
right...and the two of them will work amazingly well on the velocity...and will provide mind blowing midrange acceleration on the Velcro6th. Do you think that these guys gave a fuck about logic ???
not relevant 7th. where would the world be with out people trying Bigger, Faster
absolutely true....but again there is nothing new or ground breaking about this setup. It will absolutely provide the show, and the thrill that 3bps desires though8th. I can Go all Day !
thats NOT what she said 9th. 90% of people on scream and fly are just like me and don't know shit about fuck but stuff works out.... so who knows what? where does the internet give anyone accurate knowledge.
yup10th. Choppers on Challengers.... WRONG... 14" of set back.... WRONG... Bernico's are Nice boats.... WRONG ... where does it end?
Big block motors on 15' boats are faster than small block motors on 15' boats....WRONG11th. when this Valero Passes you... you can have my shoulder to cry on... or i will lend you some set back.
get your head out of you ass lol.
