Spring Fling 2023! | 1978 Hondo Drag boat test pass and gear change

[@terrymitchell7714]

Great Boat !!! Helped my buddy race a Hondo back in the 70's. If I remember right the model was a XH-11T The name was BAD COMPANY. Always loved the curved cutout in the drivers area, not very common. Been around drag boats all my life. Best of luck, and be safe

The Bad Company boat I remember from the Carolinas was a brendella

Nice Pass. My friends with Hydrophobia (Blown Fuel Jet) were at Lake Ming the same weekend. Hope you did well.

Cool video. Thanks for the post !

Beautiful boat. Almost seems like the driver is "wearing it". Would love to feel it drive. Camera angles helped us feel the experience although being that low in the water at high speed is something that can only be experienced. Everything seems a LOT faster there.

Great job on the video. Really captures the experience. Wish we could have made it down to hang out with you guys but we kinda had our hands full with our pile!

[@dennyperino4545]

Yeah heard about your gremlin weekend. We’ll be there in either May or September

[@doccyclopz]

Great video. What size gears were you changing out?

[@carloperino2393]

We went from 15’s to 22’s. Gonna try to go up to 25’s next time out.

[@HoosierRooster]

We ran 28 in our Hondo 511

[@doccyclopz]

I originally had 15's in my old wood Flattie but the screaming gears were deafening. I swapped them out for 22's and the noise level dropped substantially.
