Yeah he would not know anything about going 100 mph... I don't think the bayliner will hit 45mph with everything in his favor.

40 footer. That's the Gulf of Mexico which is not nearly as rough as the Pacific 95% of the time, although it can get rough when heavy weather rolls in.
And it doesn't take much swell to get a 150mph cat airborne. Of course you have a Fountain so you wouldn't know. How fast is your boat did you say?

I do not know Scarab J, however, he owns a Nor-Tech which means I probably would like him because he obviously has good taste.
My point is that as a racer, Chairman/CEO of APBA, and now an attorney representing both sides in boating related wrongful death and severe injury cases I have seen a lot of terrible tragedy. So when we can take steps to avoid or minimize tragedy doing what we love, we ought to do it. Requiring life jackets and helmets when racing at 160plus mph is the least we should do.

As a long time professional offshore racer, and a Skater owner, I completely agree. Ultimately we as owners, are responsible for our safety, our passengers safety and the safety of those around us.
Jackets are mandatory for everyone on my boat, in very organized event, no exceptions, no excuses.
Helmets above a certain speed, just common sense.
