That’s really good. Wonder how much it weighs. To be even faster than the DW32 is impressive.

I highly doubt it's faster than a DW32 apples to apples.

I'd guess the guy holding the flag wasn't in the boat for the speed run...

What boat did they "pop" for this?

A Doug Wright. It was Phoenix boat company that went out of business. Fountain bought the molds. I think the speed is coming from the waves running down the sides of the boat. Molds are in bad shape. They probably are using the same GPS as the kilo boat.

There is quite the back-and-forth on FB about altered ECU's to achieve the 130.
