There's many, like Miss Budweiser @ 220.493 in the Kilo, but I'm guessing you mean --- like under 30', or semi-pleasure, or, not a "K" boat or Blown Fuel Hydro
The guy in Australia who set the world record for speed in a boat. I think it was a single turbine engine.
True I meant lake boat not drag boat but you are right.
That Daytona was 144 I believe
Unfortunately Steve never hit 150. He ran 149.5 the day before his death. His last run he was going for the 150 mark. Wish he was still with us. Dude was top notch.

Fast Eddie!
You sure it ain’t got a jet drive?
Shit I forgot to mention that conversion.
Freddy?
Miss our Magic. Love the hull/platform. Bummer it didn’t come back over the last decade in decent numbers.
He was a twin engine, but yeah. Fast as F!
Dammit, really? That motor(s) was so big, it looked like the boat was sinking. Had to run at higher idle through Thompson Bay, it rolled a wake by us when we were anchored. I almost said "tied up", but those that remember me at that time know I would ever tie up.
Fast Freddy smoked his stogie!
Olson's 33 Daytona went 192 mph at Loto with GT blower motors about 10 years ago. I also recall he ran high 180s at Havasu a year or two later.
Which the gun wasn’t calibrated for, story was he was closer to 160 not even close to 170.
Yea, something was screwed up with that run, different owner and motors, but it shouldn't take anything away from what Greg Olsen achieved with that boat.
That Firehawk was bitchen. Whatever happened to it because last I saw Ron had a old red flat deck skater with big psi power
As far as I know, he still has it. I haven’t talk to Ron in a few years, when I go to the river I drive by the shop, but it’s always locked up on the weekends.
I rode in it when it still had the triple dominator’s on the stern drive and ran 130 and had to watch it because it was leaning out.
I agree what Olsen achieved is gangster, but the new owners run wasn’t legit.
Amen to that!
