One of those is Greg with Scream and FLy.com His STV Euro is one of the fastest boats on the water with many videos on the site with speeds over 100mph!
I have a STV ModVP and it easily sees speeds over 120 mph with a drag prop. Forget the "New" hydrostream and get a proven STV hull. They are by far the finest "Lake Racer" hulls you can find. There is just no substitute for the feeling they give when the boat breaks loose from the water at 75-80 mph and then rockets away like you just hit the nitrous! They fly completely flat when trimmed right and are extremely stable. In fact... until you look at the GPS you would swear it is just going too slow. They are that smooth!
Here is mine.

Yeah... its a blast! It was given the nickname, "Skateboard" by one of the TPA boaters here in Houston. The total weight with me in the boat is 1318 pounds... and I weigh 225!
Its just like owning a serious hotrod on the water. I can also take the rear cowling off and take a passenger if they are sick enough to want to ride. So far my daughter has been the bravest at 92 mph. Another factor is the turning ability which just bends light when you crank the wheel at speed and carve a turn like the Champ boats do.
