Unless I hear it from the driver or T-man I won't believe the 190 part, Sure they where going fast enough to Wax the azzes of all the other boats in that run but 190's is something you plan all week for, Then be CERTAIN theres no cruisers (Or Jet Ski's) gonna be out. I'll give um 120s-130s-140's, but much more than that your gonna be going straight, not turning...I'm well aware that boat will do it, I saw the 230+ data from loto, but I think he's smart enough to not do that where the "possibility" of a big wake or Jet ski could hamper it... (just my .02) I have been wrong before, Once :)

I'd have to agree. I don't buy 190mph. Yes the boat is more than certainly capable of it, but I don't believe they were doing 190 at the time. I've read they were trying to catch up with Aqua-Mania, which is a boat just as fast if not faster than My Way... No mention of them being irresponsible by going just as fast if the "catch up" explanation is indeed true.

articles like these is what gives politicians and the wp great ammo to attack our freedoms,JMHO:stooges:

Boats spinning out on constricted bodies of water that share space with kids on jet skies at speeds anywhere near approaching 190mph are what give enemies of our sport ammunition to make laws where common sense should have prevailed - but didn't.

Matt has been a great advocate for our sport and in all the years I have been reading his articles I"ve never once seen him write anything reactionary or off-the-handle. Don't shoot the messenger.

Thank God no one was hurt.

What an idiotic thing to say.

What I find odd is in most forms of motor sports the demonstration of speeds being discussed are done on a closed and controlled race course and in most cases done by the driver alone.

I can assure you guys of the 190 mph speed, I've been Mystic C5000 and we did a 180 turn @ 140 mph:eekdrop: The boat is built like none other.

I don't believe anyone is saying it won't do it, they are questioning "if" they were really running at that speed.

And that's being kind.
