Boat we were using today at the sea wasn't the slowest one but for some reason that boat below made us humble....

Oboe I have nothing to do with that RIB if that's what you thought; I don't know who owns it but it's used for promoting "Battery" energy drink (local "RedBull")

Boat we were in was old "Flipper" motorboat which runs ~40knots thought it  reaches it's Max RPMs too fast; Gotta adjust its ProPulse prop some day and see if we can squeeze few extra knots out from it :)

It was cloudy but I wouldn't say it was cold; We were wearing just old jeans and T-shirts.  Gotta maintain the style... :D

I don't think they have enough gasoline for those three Yamaha 2-stroke V-6 engines.

Cubans, that is.

No.... he is in one of those bushes with his sniper rifle in constant contact with his bapthist synagoge that holds his strat as hostage waiting to exchange it for his pornstar friend.

I think I still want it, old Flipper and all.    My 18' runabout pry can't hit 40 knots - I think about 42-44mph is all I can get out of her.   Interesting though, my stern drive unit is a Yamaha as well.

Nice boat, with all that weight aft and the short length, I wonder how it would do in rough seas. I've seen rigid hull inflatables do a stern first dive after climbing a 10-15 foot wave at speed. That boat has one hell of a wide beam though.

You really have to work the throttle on those boats if they are not balanced ok in heavy seas, but usually they are VERY stable
