You were right, but I did find what I was remembering. It was April 28,1984 when a Mercury upped the OZ World speed record by 13 mph in a Karelson Hydro. The driver subsequently made another attempt and lost his life. Possibly the V8 record was out doing the merc record.

Mr Merten died in a race boat accident, but it was not a kilo attempt.
