F18xs Force Sterndrive with Ford Barra Motor PART 2

[@samsymes001]

Hands down the coolest barra swap yet!

[@ministryoftrim]

Best we’ve seen so far.

[@bretloyd8097]

I always thought these old six cylinder Henrys would be great in a boat. . . This one is exceptional.

[@jimmy_flaps]

I never knew this form of motorsport or skiing existed, the fact that you're towing a guy behind a boat along a river @180km/h+ is fcking WILD!! What an insane group of people the skiiers are and I mean that with full respect.

[@davidkeegan3629]

Checkout Southern 80 - Superboats Avg speed is 180kmh with 2 single skiiers

[@ministryoftrim]

Hey jimmy, Water ski racing has been around for decades. There’s racing world wide, Australia has the some of the best known races including the southern 80, Sydney bridge to bridge, Grafton bridge to bridge, Hawkesbury 120 etc America has the Catalina water ski race, New Zealand has its own bridge to bridge and Belgium has the diamond race. There’s a video on our channel from back in the 90s of some ski racing, check it out. Cheers Thommo

​@ministryoftrim can't forget the king mildura 100! Grew up helping the hell teams!

[@ministryoftrim]

I don’t mind Mildura either. Very underrated track.

[@samsymes001]

@ministryoftrim River is better at Robinvale but the mildura start/finish is epic and can't be replicated!

[@jorjimaco5331]

Nitrous to spool it up. Should work. 😂

[@ministryoftrim]

It’s an idea. 😂

[@laserracer6]

AWESOME next year bring it over and do the NZ B2B...

[@ministryoftrim]

Now that’s an idea

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

Awesome boat 11/10

[@ministryoftrim]

I like your score rating 😂

[@jamesphillips7602]

Hell yeah been impatiently waiting for this video 🤘🤘🤘

[@ministryoftrim]

Thanks for hanging around. 🤟

[@glenndodson1914]

Nitrous let’s go

[@ministryoftrim]

It seems to be a reoccurring comment 😂

[@lspoweredcouch1549]

So why did it start in gear with a bravo XR?

[@ministryoftrim]

Less grinding of gears.

[@DaveGregory3298akaDJ]

Nothing beats a barq

[@ministryoftrim]

AU falcon Inline 6 be the only thing 😂

[@chrissettree-bb9ih]

Watch Windsor bait and tackle you will why it's brown 😅😅😅😅😅

[@ministryoftrim]

Just watched it, cheers for the heads up. Wonder how that’s allowed.

[@sethcowpar]

No way that’s winsor boat ramp on the Hawkesbury river

[@ministryoftrim]

That’s the one mate.

[@dylandesmond]

Twincharge it. Have the 2nd intake open via a relay and boost switch, use a centrifugal to spool up the turbo... v3 si or v7 is a good start for spooling up your turbo quicker... Capa sells brackets to bolt it straight in. Just run an electric clutch to turn the centrifugal off when you dont use it.

[@ministryoftrim]

Might be an idea to look at

[@Hiiiiiiiiii_97]

I know Aiden Cuff and he was doing this speed in point scores

[@ministryoftrim]

For sure.

[@gooneypip]

Finally!

[@ministryoftrim]

Good things take time.

[@jessebroadbent5304]

What rims are on that amarok!

[@ministryoftrim]

Black ones haha. I’ll find out
