Who said 305's were slow!
 
This has a strong running 305 that has to meet tough APBA specs and it runs really well. I think he is planning on running with the Jersey Outlaws again this summer if they do have a race season.

Do you know what rpm he's turning? I wonder what class he would be in. I love watching them run at parkertown, our house is like a mile from there.

The video is a boat. Is that where the engine is? I'm like missing something.

He is actually standing next to a 305 turd gen and videoing the speed skiffs. Little confusing I know.

You also like berettas. So thus, opinion is null and void.

I think he runs around 6800-7000 rpm's. I'm pretty sure it's an APBA legal setup but I think he runs in the unlimited class with the Jersey Outlaws this past year. He was giving some of the ski boats (with 600+ hp) a close run. The ski boats have skegs on the bottom so they actually turn though.

Is it a factory GM 305, or is it a 305 the way a 302 became a 305 for Trans Am racing?

stealth355tpi 01-18-2013 04:20 PM

i remember have a bright idea about building a 335 stroker, then i realized how little power it would make on a good day for all that money. glad i went for a 355 instead and ditched the tbi.

Factory 305. APBA only allows 283 or 305 and they still run mid 80's mph with these engines. Jersey Outlaws have a 350 skiff class and unlimited skiff class, but last year they were low on the skiff boat count. It sounds like there are quite a few skiffs that were planning to race this year so hopefully the race sites aren't completely destroyed by the hurricane and leftover debris.

probably using the 305 to anchor that thing lol

That definitely a fast boat! Can't wait to see it run.
