I posted this before but it was removed some how, but this is the 79 Crusader Tunnel Hull Jet Boat i bought in Jan.
It has a Berkeley 12JG jet drive mated to a 468 big chevy est. 650 HP Berkeley droop snoot stainless steel impeller has an edelbrock tunnel ram intake with duel holley 550's comp cams solid cam shaft with full 1.6 roller rockers 12qt hamburgers oil pan full MSD marine ignition with rev limiter
whoa.. eh tecate will outrun it.. lol that thing is a beast
my tecate still comes first when it comes to my toys. yea its a beast just cant wait to take it out on the water since i havent takin it out since i bought it, im hoping to go next sun once i get back from vacation. 18ft long and only weighs 1200#s as it sits. supposidly it will run over 90mph but i cant belive everything guy said that sold it to me but it should scream thats for sure. i will have the gps with me when i take it out on the water to see what she can do.
If that is a tunnel hull and you have the right impeller pushing 650 hp I would say 85-90 very possible. I've had a few jetboats over the years.

Yes it is a tunnel hull, wish i could be positive about the HP number but i have no clue. hoping to get a chance to take it out soon with my GPS in hand to see what she can do. either way she will be a blast.
here is a 5 min video with camera on board the boat, there is no sound because camera is in waterproof case but its a decent video of the boat. only ran 70mph on gps but the lake was a little rough so it was cavitating a little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni_RAbpniPQ
Looks like the weiner dog is enjoying the ride.
I have a 17'10" Hondo flatty I can't wait to finish. only a small block but still a strong motor. it ran 6.60-6.70's in the 1/8th in a 77 firebird
