Knight Rider · 12th September 2009, 22:51

Waiting mate, post more

Vert1go · 13th September 2009, 03:52

Alright, here you go

pulsar56 · 13th September 2009, 04:21

Nice teasers Vertigo.
Let's see some more action and details please!

rranjith_kum · 15th September 2009, 15:55

Wow its looks really great ! but then the motor feels bigger to the boat, not that proportionate, or is it because I am used to seeing small honda engines. How much power have you got in the tap ?

Jaggu · 15th September 2009, 15:58

Whats the spec of the boat and the motor? Nice toys you got there

Vert1go · 15th September 2009, 16:07

Thanks everyone, I've been into fast boats for as long as I can remember. The engine is a 2.5 liter V6, fuel injected, 325+ hp. The boat is an X-Stream V-King, 18 feet, very lightweight. I have taken it up to about 95 mph, but it should top out at 115 mph or so. Here's one more pic.

Some pics of the Mustang too please

Good eye there.

I have this posted in another section here, but I don't mind posting it again. The Mustang is my daily driver, along with the truck.

Nice boat.
Mustang looks great!
Any interior pics as well?

Vert1go · 15th September 2009, 17:05

I have some, this is the only one I can find for now

sammyboy · 15th September 2009, 18:51

Wow bro now if only you had a plane, it would complete the garage

Love the variety in the garage of yours. Something for every mood and occasion.
What truck is that? Could you please post some pics ?

Mpower · 15th September 2009, 21:11

Nice boat but what it have to do with motorsports. Do you race it?

BaCkSeAtDrIVeR · 15th September 2009, 21:42

How do you measure the speed? GPS?

What is the fuel?

At higher speeds, with more than 4/5th of the hull above water, stability is affected with even minor waves/ripples in water, right? How do you manage avoiding waves?

The wake generated would travel to the shore of the lake / water body, right? Anybody complains about the waves?
