BT built another boat (raised deck) with 1400hp turbines and I believe they stopped at 114mph with it. Don't know what the specifics of the boat are. But I think we are the fastest so far. Hopefully there is more to come.

So, we have the big blower motors and 6's, but just a basic cabin without all the fluff, so, who knows exactly what the weight is. I would guess it should be around the same as the other boats, maybe more.
