How much mota would you need to have on a 2003 to compete in the 10 second/ 1000' class?
Based on my times last year, I would generally agree with the above statement. Your setup will need to be on to run that kind of number IMO. The optimal holeshot setup is a little tricky in the 2003.280 with 260 electronics with hot heads ,or a stock 300 drag , and a GOOD setup . should be good to go !!!!!!!
Well, don't I feel like the village drooler...If I'm remembering how the timing works, from a 125' rope start it would take a whole bunch of motor as Your gonna probably be over 1,700 lbs... I'm not sure You gonna do it with a 2.5, probably gonna take a built 3.0 liter... Again, if I remember how that course works and I could be wrong...
That equates to a 12 second or so 1/4 mile time. I think you can get close with a 260 or 280. To give you an idea a lake racer boat in ODBA or DSRA at 1715-20 lbs will run a mid to high 10 second pass in a 1/4 on the rope..
That is exactly where I got my numbers from.This is where the times Erik came up with came from. This guy took his bass boat at 1720 lbs and put it on the rope and pedaled it to 10.80's with time slips. If it is a typical Allison bass boat he probly has to add close to or over 200 lbs to it to get to 1720. I would think on the conservitave side 200 lbs. is worth at least 4 to 5 tenths. So it still wouldnt run 10 flat but i bet he could get it close. And I if it would bet set up for the extra distance and not having to run spec. gas you could get it to 10.00
