I had a 33 Daytona. It ran 133 with 700’s. 900’s will do 140’s no problem.

At 10psi they were dyno’d at 1250+ issue was the bravo style drives boat really needed #6’s
I’ve been just over 150 in the boat.

Well I had a small buzz so I could have missed the details. I do remember wind removing bikini tops.

Yes the wind between the canopies into the center seat it worked every time, flawlessly

152 as a passenger in a M35 with 1350's We were just cruising.

138 driving in my 33 Daytona with Stage 3 700's

An under 20 foot boat with 800 hp is still way more fun but only for an hour

112 in a 26 American Offshore at Lake Mead with 3’ chop. Very impressed with the ride and quality of that boat.

All my fastest times I have been a passenger.

102 in a Hondo Flat bottom. Not sure of the power. It was absolutely crazy and violent from start to finish.
107 In a 27 Ultra Stealth
75 behind the Ultra on an inner tube... probably not the best of decisions.

99.4 gps All day long...all summer long...except for the panic slow down before crashing into a wakeboard boat wake. Then it's 75mph through the air.

Did you tell him to slow down? [emoji23]
90 in 2nasty is right where the fun starts.

Yep. Quite honestly I did. Wasnt too long after that we took 2 over the bow. Wakeboard boats on parker. :(


If we were out early in the am, would've been a different story.

Dennis is good guy:)

Inside the river house when I hear the neighbor fire up his boat, and he starts doing some hot laps. It was late afternoon and I had a few beverages in me...so I grab my life jacket, then wave him down. My wife wasn’t happy.

When he dropped the hammer (I think he was trying to scare me), all I could see was the sky, the nose was so high in the air. I was giggling like a little kid...it was awesome.

All I know was that the water was a blur, he thought somewhere in the low 100’s. I don’t even know what kind of boat it is, flat bottom V drive with a gigantic motor in the back, that you can hear 5 miles away, and shakes river house windows. Lol

Holy F'n Hell! Some of these numbers are incredible. 125-175 on flat, paved...wonderfully stable...asphalt, is a rush. To me, fast cars have been my "fix". The ever-changing surface and general lack of suspension seems a harsh combination to overcome. Not to mention, I get tossed around by roll bar boats at 45-50...one of those jackholes can ruin your day at real speeds.

About 150ish in Howard Arneson's 32' Skater in the Delta of Nor Cal back in 1990 or 1991. Cool dude, met him at a boat show and he took my girlfriend, her bother and I for a ride on the boat shown here.

It was a dog until about 70 MPH then stupid fast until 150. It was hard to breath sitting next to the turbine intake and air blowing over our heads. Sunglasses were lost around 130 MPH, couldn't see shit after that as the wind got under my eyelids.
