Fastest on a Boat

So, we were down at Powell for the 4th and the neighbor in the slips had a DCB F-32 with twin supercharged Merc 700's and gave us a ride. With 8 people in the boat and a full tank of fuel we were able to hit 111 mph. I can only say that this was one of the most incredible things that I have ever done. It is sweet to ride on water going that fast. So I guess my question is, how fast have you been on water? (and don't worry it was too choppy to ride, and there were literally no other boats on the water) The professional pic is the boat we were on, just at a poker run last year where he hit 143. So. Much. Fun.

42 mph wooooo hooooooo!!!!!!!!!

My SuperAir Nautique has been clocked at 75 miles an hour.

But it was on my trailer.

64 on a jet ski

I hit a little over a hundy at Lake Nacimiento several years ago. we were on my friends Schiada. I dont recall the specs of the boat, but it was putting out about 1100 hp's. crazy fast.

My old Formula 303.......72 on GPS
Very stable

I've been on a 18 foot outboard doing 85......scary. The only thing in the water was 1/2 of the prop.

I have a bunch of freinds with fast jets and V-drives, mostly in the 90-100mph range. I also know a couple people with bigger cats. Fastes one i've ridden in does right around 140mph depending on witch motor he has in it. Really nothing like going that fast on water. Kinda small but this is a pic of it with us in it.

Going a hundred on an offshore boat is a cake walk. Try doing it in a blown flat bottom where you are practically at water level and the thing is surging like a fool.

Almost hit 70 on a SeaDoo, thats about it.

And another pic with the "small" motor. The big motor is 600 CI with 3 holley's.

70-75ish on my seadoo

Went threw the traps at 136mph in my old 81 Kurtis V-Drive. A lot of fun for one person but dose not fit the family very well.

The speedo on the supercharged yamaha jetski said 109, I don't believe it, but I was still scared. I don't like being on it, it is THAT fast. I bet it goest about 75.

116 mph in a 28 Howard cat w/ a single Tiege (sp?) Marine custom engine a few years back on a poker Run in MN. Last year did 93mph in a 32 Sunsation Dominator with twin 525's in Ft. Walton Beach. Go fast boats are so much fun...

How much it cost to fill up

My dad raced drag boats in the 90's... 18 ft Mirage River Racer with well over 300 horse V-8 Evinrude outboard motor, nitrous injected! I believe is top speed was clocked around 126 mph in the quarter mile... he only took it up to around 100 mph when I rode with him! Also, in his class most boats hit their top speed before 1000 feet, talk about acceleration!

hit mid 90's on a american offshore with twin 540's. he said it would do about 125 at sealev.

23MPH in a straight line sounds pretty good to me :]

Here's my buddies 900+ HP Daytona Eliminator, it's a cat.
(we were doing 115 mph in this pict,and halfway out of the water)

Fast & Smooth!!

I can only say 62mph per the gps on our 2005 Ebbtide 2600 CBR with 8 people on board. For a family runabout I think is was fast. BTW you should have seen the look on the gold chained BAJA owner when we caught and passed him.

Eric,
not sure how much it cost this year, but he was tellin us last year he could run from Bullfrog to Page in about 50 minutes and had to fill up and it cost him $1500 at last years prices on the lake. Just to start it up and let the engine warm up enough for the computer to unlock the trannys cost $50. We only rode for about 10 minutes. Crazy fun
