First pleasureboat with diesel power to break 100?

I have no idea, but I wager it was on the other side of the pond first? They have pushed the diesel sport / pleasure boats for years. Sometimes on Yacht World you search terms like Buzzi, Trimax, Seatek and some awesome boats pop-up ndon't recall 100 mph but I would have to guess it's been done over there a few moons ago?

Based on our previous conversations, this is my recollection
Current 51 NorTech with tripple Yanmar (480?) diesel/Arneson, runs about 75mpg and gets 1 mpg.
His previous 51 Nor-tech with tripple 850/SSM#6, ran about 100mph and got 1/2 mpg.
Here is Bob at the helm.
