Sorry to hear the "Whistlin' Dixie" sank the other day while out fishing. Glad that both capt and stermman got off OK. Hope you get back on the water ASAP.
LOL you got that right fastest diesel!! Foolish pleasure is the worlds fastest lobster boat, if your in Pemaquid this year you will see him smash his record of 64.1MPH this year, i have already seen him do 66MPH so i know he will even beet that, its going to sweet!!
I'm not asking about the boat owners ,I'm asking ,are these the boats and engines they use to go lobstering ? like the day after the race ,can they just throw bait and ice on these boats the way they are ,and go fisjing, without having to spend a week installing winches ? reaplacing props and even engines ? or these are boats that look like the real thing ,but weight only 8K lbs and use only to cruise and race once a year?
Thats awesome! Heard about it through Diesel Power Mag. Lobstermen are awesome, great historic job! And you race boats with diesel engine! How awesome is that! I love the feeling of getting out in the open, throttling up and hearing the diesel roar!
My question is are these real working boats or just race boats on a lobster hull with no fishing gear and $200,000, 2000hp 3406 Cats ,that no fisherman can afford the fuel they burn nor the power they have?
Hahaha! And yes they are working boats... Here's a good example.. czcams.com/video/lE-5Psmls3Y/video.html
idk if it counts as the new record but the foolish pleasure did 70.3 mph at the eastport races on september 12th. cant wait to see what everyone does over the winter for next year. should be the best year for racing from the word going around.
Yeah i agree with the prize thing, the fast gas boats that don't go lobstering should not be able to get the prizes like rope traps and so on just the money thats it!
Catuhpilluh engine. Sounds about right! Been missing the Lobster boats something fierce! Nothing like their horns coming in on the hahbuh.
I really don't see Starlight Express's diesel record of 58.9mph owned by Alfred Osgood or Foolish Pleasure's gas/alcohol record of 72.8mph owned by Galen Alley ever losing those titles. The only thing i can ever see getting broke in the near future is their own speed records by their own boats lol. There has been a lot of fast boats in the past and probably some more in the near future, but those are some hard records to ever be beating!!! Good luck to everyone this race season! Lets go SE & FP
I could give 2 shits about boothbay or booth bay either way!!! Can't wait to see some good racing this year and it looks like bruce and the thunderbolt is ready too by the way he is talking to some one about racing LOL!! there will be at least 4 or 5 fast boats this year i can't wait but we all know who the fastest will be again this year...oh whats that name oh i got it....FOOLISH PLEASURE!!!!
holy smokes this is heated! first off if you pay your 20 bucks i don't care if you have a punt or half a mil wrapped up in a gas hog, everyone should have the same chance at the hat prizes. That being said, a couple places had "peakers" drawing the names, and that's wrong. If you got a work boat, and win or lose with it be proud of that, but don't hate the fast boys, because most, me included come to see what they can do. Now that Galen has clearly broke 70mph, can it be admitted Camel did 68.5?
I don't understand how lobsterman can complain about not making enough money when they spend about $80,000 on an engine!!
Not everyone spends $80,000 on an engine.
@tibbetts2345 yeah screw all those haters! who cares if they work out of the boats or not. u would think they would be happy that we bring in the crowds that spend all their money in their towns instead of bad mouthin us because we dont go lobstering out of our boat. how many people do u think will go watch a boat go 20mph? yeah like i thought NONE!!! by the way mike u know who this is lol
