I only wish!The fastest that I have been on the water was low 150's in a 36 ft Skater Extreme that I was involved in about 12 years ago

What are the stats on the powerplants for that beast. I'm just blow away. That's like someone having an m3 that goes 400mph.

Also notice that it is not a big block Chevy but a dedicated all aluminum DOHC 4 valve marine engine with a closed cooling system that will idle at 800 rpm!

1MOREMOD · 08-11-2011, 10:36 PM

will that fit in an m3?

disapr · 08-11-2011, 11:02 PM

So sick...

ferrari6891 · 08-12-2011, 12:03 AM

The water needs to be VERY VERY calm for this to work. It looked like it was an inch away from being lifted into the air. Very very impressive...never seen anything like it

e92_m3 · 08-12-2011, 12:19 AM

Damn, that was fast! I have never tried doing something like that.

I would definitely love to experience it.

I did some digging and found out that these engines are approximately $202,000USD each (including the M8 stern drives) and will consume 150 US Gallons of fuel per hour per engine at full load. Imagine, 300 Gallons of fuel per hour....... at ~ $5.00 per US Gallon locally for premium (approximately $1,500 per hour to operate), I would hardly afford to put fuel in this thing, let alone buy one!

disapr · 08-12-2011, 06:40 PM

I'm curious how much that boat retails for. I found a couple of references listing ~350k but if those numbers on the engine are right then this must be incorrect.

1MOREMOD · 08-12-2011, 07:10 PM

thats a ridiculous gas bill even for us m3 owners.

$350K may very well be correct for the boat with the base engines (Mercruiser MAG 496 HO/425HP) which retail for around $16,500-$17,000USD.

The price of the M31 with the Mercury Racing 1350's would most likely be somewhere around $700,000-$750,000USD or more depending on options. These boats are all one offs and are extremely customizable, I am sure some of them reach or top $1,000,000USD.
