Looked like a blast. Next!

So, how fast was that? Toooo Coool!

I'd bet that was at least 110, vdrives with decent power have no trouble getting to 120+. The driver was doing a good job of keeping the boat level.

Being a passenger in a fast vdrive or jet is a hair raising experience. If you are lucky you have one handle and the side/bottom of the seat to hang on. I have always driven and the driver has the steering wheel and foot braces a lot to keep your mind busy. A ride in the passenger seat a couple of weeks ago really opened my eyes to the sheer speed and terror that the exposed passenger seating delivers:eek:

I must say though, shame on them for not wearing ballistic jackets or at least poker run jackets.

Great video otherwise.

Original thread on RDP says low hundreds. Mill is 1300hp.

WOW!!

I get a big enough rush going 100 out in the ocean in a 39' boat... Now going 100+ in a 21' boat in some semi boat chop I would probably have a heart attack!!

low hundies w/1300 hp in a boat that weighs maybe 4k and sitting a foot and half off the water? That's a ride!! You can almost feel the pull on that thing in that video.

thats "the River" .

The rest of the world has no idea the true meaning of the word..ludicrous.

Looked like the passenger said "I shiit my shorts", and the drive said "I knew you would"

I half expected to see the passenger go flying up in the air like an ejection seat.

Can't say I'd feel much at ease if I were the driver of the last 2-3 boats he passed :eek: But great driving

Tank, I don't care that you borrowed the video for here.. We make them for everyone to enjoy (offshore guys / river guys etc..) . :) Feel free to post up any other videos if you feel they are worthy.

I watch a lot of offshore vids, even though I don't do a lot of offshore boating is what i'm saying..

Nice site.
