yup me too, that's pretty nutty. I would like to "watch" a v bottom do 170, I just am not so sure I would want to be in the boat. That must be pretty wild.

Why is the Talkin Trash team not running Sunny Isles ? The run to Bimini is perfect for the 32. I hope everything is ok with the team. T N T # 1

This is the fastest I've been in a boat, the old Callan Marine C5000 cat, (now the Miss Geico Turbine boat).
It was amazing, quite the rush to say the least
