I'll put my GPS's 61 mph cruiser up against that race boat any day.... Hahaa.

It's is a nice boat though, don't think it runs 70.

Sort of my thoughts.

But...race boat means different things, I guess. Competition racing? Maybe not. Race to the nearest bar for  cold one? Probably.

It isn't often that you see a race boat with Bose speakers.
It seems to have clean lines, but I think race boat is perhaps an overstatement.

X3, not a race boat, decent rig though.

Wonder why they put the scoop on backwards? think.gif

Dude it is a race boat.  It goes so fast if it was the other direction it would rip the whole deck off.  crazy.gif

Always wanted to ask that question, have seen several like that?

Only boats I have seen running backwards scoops was some circle boats, so my assumption would be to keep water from getting into them during a race. I have turned mine around & run it backwards when getting caught in the rain.

Never seen one of those fiberglass monsters intentionally mounted & run backwards though, that is a first for me, lol...

You are correct about the Fiberglass scoop, I ment the "Normal" Scoop, I have seen those backwards...?? I can't say if they were on the Water though, I was thinking maybe for towing it down the road with no filters in it? Keep the Birds and Beer Cans out of the Engine?

No need to run your Scoop Backwards in the Rain, Havent run My sled in the Rain "yet" but I did drive my Truck in the Rain with the carbs above the Hood, Ran Great!  :smile16:

California makes you run them backwards so you dont burn anybody with a backfire. If you have a legal certified spark arrester then you can run a forward facing scoop but most wont do this so they run them backwards. This si the law I did not just create the reason.

Gotcha.

I highly doubt that is a 92. I have a 78 Kachina 21ft that is the same hull and exact same trailer. And Kachina was known for making many different hulls. That's quite a few years apart.
