82 in a 21' skeeter single console. You know your in trouble when the driver pulls out a full helmet. Very scary

90+ in a 26' Baja with triple 454's. Prolly had more throttle to give too. Wasnt near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I prefer to run in the mid 50's or cruise in the mid 40's.

Over 100 in a stroker with a 300 merc verado I believe the engine was. You don't see many stroker boats. They are built for speed and they will do it!!!! I think they were built in TN. Dude handed me a helmet when I got on the boat. I knew it was on then. Lol

Driving, 72 or so on my old javelin. Used to have a 16' hydra sport with a 150 inline merc on it. Haha that thing would fly!! Maybe 65-68 before it got too dangerous with plenty of throttle left.

89 to 90, one of my friends (we fished together most every day) was R & D for a couple major bass boat companies. He knew how to make a bass boat go fast and for sure how to drive one.
