Thank you JS. That powerboat is a rocket sled!

awesome great job QATAR

Slightly better quality http://youtu.be/y1CI8EX7Azo

Crazier part is they did 210 with the parachute dragging. That boat is a rocket, great to watch.

Impressive, I expect that to stand for awhile unless they break their own record!

Congrats to all involved!

I was contemplating the stresses on that Mystic hull accelerating to 210 while dragging two deployed chutes . Amazing stuff . Then to come back and turn in a 244 performance is , well , lets just say the wood almost knocked my television over . :drool1: :eekdrop:
