Dave has been working on that product for about 4 years now. Testing in his Skater and on the dyno. Looks like a pretty cool idea to me, and he's had quite a bit of success.

Dave is a super guy, and definitely knows his motors! His shop is wall to wall POWER...I think the 540s he built for me were about the smallest hp he had in the place, lol.

Hey fellas,

I am one of the engineers over at BOOSTane. We got into contact with the folks over at Boyne Thunder to see if there was any opportunity to help you guys get reliable, high octane fuel on the water for the Boyne Thunder poker run coming up this summer.

Dave Wesseldyk is apart of our team, and has been continually testing our products and running our products on all of his engines. We all come from offshore powerboat racing, so we understand the difficulty and anxiety around running these expensive, high performance engines hard on 90 or 89 octane fuel found at marinas.

We are here to bring an affordable, reliable, and most of all convenient alternative to lugging around drums of race fuel. We have been 3rd party tested to raise 93 pump grade to 110 octane. Quick math: 5 gallons of BOOSTane, will transform 400 gallons of 90 octane to 95 octane. Conservatively.

So hit me with any questions you guys have! Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the smallest boat, but there was a 47' Nortech that never left Lake Char. last year and the big lake was super nice. I think he was scared.....

Even if Michigan gets nasty, Lake Char has to be 15 miles long, so you'll at least get a good run in on Char
