What Boat is this ?

[jvaughan]

Ive seen a few on the road being towed...

I think its a honda challenge boat ...

Honda gfx, and a 100hp HOnda Motor on the back. looks about 20ft

Have searched the honda website, but cannot find a dealer who actually sells them

[DJFish]

Would imagine they're only available through Honda: http://www.honda-racing.co.uk/championships/2007/h...

Originally used an Extreme (Previously Ring) 21 IIRC, but later given a facelift.

Very fast too ! I have had a ride in a Ring 21 (the pre-facelift model) and this was touching 65-70 knots ! I believe they have a foot pedal to move you along. Also they have a water tank at the front which you can regulate how much water you want displaced at the bow to keep the nose end down. I don't know whether they still use this method though.


Oh I forgot to add that this one I had a ride in was either 200HP or 225HP.

70 knots! No chance. 70 Mph would be realistic.
(FWIW all pitot speedo's over-read, with the exception of the liquic filled livorsi one)

[MattYorke]

Oh yeh, foot throttle, bow tank etc are all par for the course. You really need both hands for the steering, so a hand throttle on anything "hi-po" (unless driven by 2 people, 1 driver, 1 throttle) is pretty much the norm.
