Crazy part is it ran trips with a 300. The Bishop is about to take flight

I want to hear numbers when released and a video would be cool.

And now Basscat has put on on a Jaguar. let's see that head to head!

New that was coming as well. It won't run to potential. And if Legend was still around they would have done so as well. It's the simple shock and awe effect and gets people talking. The only boat in my opinion that will run with that 450 would be the Bullet. Other than strapping big HP on the back both BassCat and Legend won't set up the boats as needed for those motors to perform.

Rick Pierce nearly killed himself several years ago in a boating accident. The details were secretive, but I agree with Rich. BCB needs to stick to what they know.
Rick P has run triple digits many times and is more familiar with chasing speed than many of us.
Here's a couple pics of the 2020 Jag with the 450R. Of course this is more of a rich mans Bass Boat. Its now 22 feet and a half inch wider. I believe they have had it to 92 mph and should see triple digits. Pretty cool we live in an age where if you have the funds you can purchase a Bass boat with a 300-450hp engine. I'm interested to see what the Bullet will run, though I dont know If I want to be in it! I have been 80+ in a Blazer, and that was fast enough.

I am sure the Bullet will run those speeds with a lot less horsepower.

That cup holder on the outside of the trolling motor is gonna be messy... Tooling down the lake at 70+ and Mountain Dew getting sloshed everywhere... Then, the can or bottle flying back and hitting your passenger between the eyes... Dan
No one ever thought about putting a cover on that did they? Or at least a bungee cord!! Can't believe someone hasn't made the cup holders cooled to keep your drinks cold
BassCat said at the demo that the Jaguar was the only "single engine" 450R set-up current running.

Someone may have said that, though we were aware of the one off 450 mount, by an individual in Texas, as we were headed to the water as well. The factory monitors almost all forums to some degree and we saw that post the week we were also beginning setup and testing.
We don’t know the level of installation or operation of the Texas engine and had been curious about the performance of that particular 450. Since that blog on TFF the follow up has been virtually nil and we have seen no further postings. We also spoke on the phone to Chub (Stroker) last week about the 450R and also the 300R, though he hasn’t run either engine.
This one was with Mercury’s full support from the Racing Division and the engine requires a lot of work, by a trained staffe, for proper single engine application. It is not a bolt on and bolt off part you can easily switch. There also are other complications that came to light with the entire setup and installation. It’s not an easy install for a single engine application, not hard just more than a normal install. Also something that there’s more to it than we can publish for various reasons.
Just setting the record straight that the factory never presented it as the only one.
