it's going fast for sure but not 140, the speedo on the helo shows between 90 -100
old threads around here say 1000 a side to go 100 in a flat deck so ?

looks like it's running pretty darn good for the conditions, the pi-zons are having a good time, and the driver is confident enough
to look at the helo, so the boat must be very easily controlled at high speed in a straight line w/ a little wind and chop in the mix.

it was probably pulled from a special mold by and at another shop and was layed up and rigged for a singular purpose.
(even tho legend has it the race boats come out of the same mold as the boats on the showroom floor)

I think that 42 has 1350 Mercs. But am I missing something? 140 in a 50 maurader dosent seem that far fetched to me with the 1550’s

Obviously it's running too fast for pfd's to be of any use.

Not true. If they wore PFD's, they would have floated when bounced out into the ocean.
