Great to see your content and hear 2.5 15in ss . No better sound. In 1994 my dad purchased one of the first 5 ever 15in mid ss ever made by mercury racing. Had it on a 20ft mod tunnel bass boat, that weighed 900lbs.. Did 104 with 2 of us..All you guys run safe, correct lifelines, great to see respect and responsibility brother..Keep the vids coming..

[@weekendsonthewater]

Thanks for the good words! Much appreciated! I love the sound of the 2.5s screaming, thats why i dont add hardly any music or nothing

[@MnDan]

@@weekendsonthewater Is there any better sound than a 2.5 ss 15 mid at start up idle...NOPE!!

[@jimt1240]

Holy smokes. I had no idea that boat was that fast or it had 280 hp. I watched a vid showing over the bow and thought he was running 80's. Always hard to tell when your not in the seat. Got a smile watching that pooch enjoying his ride in the stv. Thanks for the education, Jim

Sounded wicked , beautiful boat looking forward to doing the Alva run next year !

DEZ NUTS builds some Outrageous outboards. My power head is the last thing on my boat, I spoke with Dave about a month ago he`s been busy. I have to POP STBD head off and have a look, Nickasil maybe damaged if so Dave will be getting some work. Keep the videos coming brother

That mullet is the same size as my house!! Gawd damn.....respect tho👌😎

[@trbocharge]

Impressive!

[@miketee2444]

I know they are floating around but still kinda high. It'd sure be nice to find a retired F1 power head when they get a little more reasonable. That motor sounds healthy and zings up nice. I will always like my V bottom hulls. Grandma can run 120 in an STV. I like having to really drive and focus when running triple digits.

That ain't no 200 carby lol lookin good!

… Gotta love a fast V...

[@captainmichael787]

I LOVEEE THAT SOUNDDDD

[@bobjordan2535]

Man,I love Action Marines! I have had two of them so far. About 85 is all I care to go through,with a 200 carb motor on my 18 Lightning copy. Is this the fastest top end speed you know about for a Action? Also just subscibed,love your content so far!

[@weekendsonthewater]

The fastest i have heard of is a 16 action at 123. And i know of an 18 action that went 118

[@MasterWitchDoctor]

the fastest Action Marine was built by Diamond Marine in Ft Lauderdale. FYI it was beaten by a Hydrostream Venom. they were by far the fastest V bottom boats ever built until Allison made the drag boat. Action marines are sooooo antique.
