Wildman, AKA Randy Corson over on Scream and Fly. He builds Liberators and some Checkmates and the guy does way beyond amazing work. His boat builds over on S&F are nothing short of amazing.

Go check this out - https://www.screamandfly.com/showthread.php?337074-Getting-my-1st-300R-V8-this-week

Guy knows how to build fast boats that look amazing.

Wildman put a 450R V8 blown (replacement for the 400R inline) on a 21 Liberator. 1st time out 120+. Has his eyes on 130. I doubt that motor will ever be on a Hydrostream (too heavy)--but ya never know. $60K+ motor. Editorial on S&F said 100 was once considered fast. Now these guys cruise at 100. Woof. Mercury a year behind on production of V8s.

Hope the Vegas got figured out. LWP V6 four stroke might be the current way to go. BRP only 2 stroke. Evinrude 225 would be sweet on a Vegas.
