Happy customers and photos

Sept, 2008. Team OPS Marine wins 1,100 mile Venezuela Rally w/ Billet Marine Water Cooled, Top Caps!!!

Team Billet Marine,
We tested and used the Bravo Billet Top Cap in the largest race on water in the world, The Venezuela Rally 1.100 miles in 6 days. We used 4 Bravos Xrs drives and replace the original caps by the New Billet Marine Caps. That helped the drives to support the 700 Horses produced by ours engines. Also one of my spare Bravos Xrs drive was sold to a customer that broked his drive at the first 200 miles. Changing the drive to my customer we recomended and instaled a Old Billet Marine Cap that I buy from you in 2005, three years later after 3 more races(we use it 2005, 2006, 2007, that mean 3.300 miles), and manys set up for test speed and trials the Old Billet Top Cap completed the others 900 miles and my customer could take third place in his categori. This boat was a 26feet with a single 509c.i. Naturally Aspirated engine with 600 horses.
Our experience on this race has obligued us to use only good quality products in order to support this endurance race.
Thanks for all your support to our needs, without The Billet Top Caps we would not be able to finish the race. (Based on the results from the others Team using the standars Bravo Top Cap)
Thanks Billet Marine,
Thanks Curtis,

	Mike Nelson's 33 Daytona - sports blown 572s and #6 dry sump drives. This boat runs almost every product that Billet Marine manufactures/sells. (twin cartridge oil filters, oil thermostat, stainless fuel rails, valve spring oilers, Gaffrig alarm instruments, etc.) THIS BOAT IS FAST! Can you say a buck fifty plus... Here is Mike's new Harley The major components were shipped to Mike where he assembled this awesome bike. I think he likes red & white. :-)
	Todd Kelson's 28' Daytona LP. Todd's cat sports a Billet/Whipple supercharged 502 with 1000CFM throttle body and lightning headers. This "family boat" takes many people by surprise. Todd also has a Billet XR Bravo conversion drive. Very Clean Ride!
	Robert Leonik's 36' Spectre sports Whippled 502HP motors. Robert is running 1.25 ration Billet Bravo XR conversion drives with all of the goodies. (steel towers, billet water cooled caps, etc.). This boat has clipped 130MPH and still has prop potential! Check out the new tow rig! He's running 22" semi wheels with 10 lug adapters.....Very Trick!
	The twin HP500 Whipple motors tuck nicely in the gull wing hatches.
	A closer look at these EFI 700+HP beasts!
	Here is one of a pair of whippled, aluminum head, single dominator, 540s. These motors dyno'd at 830HP on pump gas at 4 pounds of boost. Warning...they are lurking in a 32' Magic sleeper!
	Here's Curtis between the pair right after the dyno session. Rumor has it there may be a third motor in the future for a triple 540 cat! A dry sump, all aluminum 500 inch pro-stock motor getting assembled! Trick stuff!
	Billet Marine started building custom Harleys over the winter. Here are two of the first five. The blue bike has a black and chrome RevTech 100 inch motor with all Billet accessories. The Silver bike is all satin and chrome with the same Billet parts less gauges, speedo, turn signals, etc. Drag Style! Both bikes are scary fast!

	Tad Ulrich's 30" Spectre. Twin, blown 502s move this boat to well over 120MPH! Todd Waaraama and family at lake Powel. Todd Waaramaa's Eliminator. This 454EFI Whippled, Eagle sports a Billet Bravo drive and many "subtle" mods.
	Scott Martinson's 2001 28' Sleekcraft. This boat started with a Billet 650HP aluminum head 540CI motor! Very nice!
	Here's a picture of Scott's 540. This is the standard, aluminum head model. 630-650HP depending on cam/boat combination.
	Another view! 2000/2001 UPDATE! This motor is back in the shop now for another carb, inter-cooler and a TBS 8:71 supercharger! 2002 Here it is! Scott's 540 with a few new mods. This thing made 938HP on pump gas, on the dyno! Scott's in for a fun summer. Of course a Billet Bravo 1.36 race drive with 1" shorter lower was in order...
	Here's one of the bike's (Titan parts) that Billet is starting to assemble. In all my spare time of course. :-) Notice the upside down billet front forks, triple trees, wheels, grips, etc. You have to have something to ride on land! :-)

	Tim Hammer's 33 Daytona in action at Parker Arizona. This boat has two blown Billet 540's that run 1040HP on pump gas and on only 9lbs boost. (seen below)
	Tim also runs Billet Bravo Drives with steel insert housings, custom gears, custom shafts, upgraded bearings and water cooled Billet Top Caps with custom water lines. CHECK IT OUT! Boat graphics by Curtis' wife, Margie!
	Lake Powell cove 1999. Combined these four cats have over 3400 horsepower! Billet engines and drives of course!
	28' closed bow Sleekcraft. This sleeper sports a Billet Blown aluminum head 540CI Chevy. This is probably one of the fastest Sleekcrafts ever.
	Paul & Terrie Keaveney's 25 Eliminator Daytona with a Billet Blown 461Chevy. This mild 700+ horsepower engine and a lowered drive combination easily sees triple digits.
	Pancho Mabante's 25 Daytona.........motor coming......
