I have been 100 on water. They can have 200. LOL
I'll stay 50 and below from now on.

These boats are powered by a 468ci blown alky Chev motor. Most of the boats in this class, GP, are made about an hours drive from me in Brockville ON. They are good for 170mph.

My buddy Ken Sperry builds engines for Grand Prix boats.  He is the motor guy for Ken Brodie, GP 50.

Fastest I’ve ever been on water is the mid 70’s, it was in a scarab with a little over 500 ponies and that was too fast for me, can’t imagine doing a hundred never mind 200!   WOW.

My brother's tritoon will run 50. I have to admit, it looks funny when a tooner is cruising at 50.

Give us guys anything with a motor and we're going to try to figure out how to race it. 'My blender kicks your blenders ass'.  Then it becomes a big dick contest.

I worked for Chevy Engineering back in the 1980's, and that's how it was there.  Guys racing cars, motorcycles, go carts, boats, snow mobiles, bicycles -- you name it, there was someone there into racing it.

Cool!  If by some remote chance you ever run into Ken Sperry near the Ken Brodie team, please tell him that his pal Brooke says hello.

A guy I use to race against back in the day crews for a GP team. Will mention it to him.
