its not carbon fiber, its the scat cat 26 if he put 20 cells in a micro scat cat then it would sink into the ground not just water, lol

awesome, now I just have to build a Donzi ZR 38 from the movie, of which I will gladly brag I rode in last week. 
Very nice handling boat, but black is very hot on the feet.

no ****, black is a terrible boat color. how fast? what engines, if it was the one from the movie it would be 575's. with 1075's thats donzi's fastest boat.
the only true gofast i've ever riden in was a 31' foot scarab with twin 525's. went 90mph with a slight chine walk. she was mildly over powered.
i got the glass all done and i started to join the hull but i ran out of super glue. the glass made her much stiffer

RE: Project Miami Vice!!!! now playing
well apparently there were two boats. He got the slower of the two, though I'm not sure if they sold the other one. This had twin staggered 525's with XR drives.It tops out at just under 100mph, though we got it up to 87 in a 2-3ft chop. Very smooth boat, didnt notice any chine walk or the like. I ended up standing which turned out to be regretful...bad wind burn. I will post some pics when I get them. awaiting an e-mail. We actually ran into a cigarette top gun, which wanted to race very badly, but the owner didnt want to waste a few hundred bucks(gas) on the guy.

yup there was two, a 38zr and a 43zr. both very underpowered but beacause of good hull design they were fast. i know what your saying about standing. i was wering sunglasses, not nearly enough. the driver had old school pilot googles. wish i had a pair.
the gas thing sucks. my familys boat has a single 425hp engine and that sucks the gas. a little more than 5 fill ups this summer at 300 dollars + a piece

what are you doing standing in the back seat? standing is only for the bolsters.
i used ca but it wants to rip instead of come apart. i'm thinking this is really not good. it's not terrible, it's like stick a matchbook under the table leg to level it out bad.
some creative wieght distribution when she's running?

RE: Project Miami Vice!!!! now playing
so then it should ride real nice. 1000hp in a 38ft boat going 100mph seems good to me but your the expert
