My dad has a buddy that is factory sponsored by BassCat. Awhile back, they gave him their latest boat with a special blueish gray Evinrude on it (I think it was 300hp). That boat would run 100+ gps with maybe 4 inches of hull in the water. Wicked fast but scared the sh*t out of me.

I always enjoyed this old video of a little 18 foot or so Ranger bass boat getting froggy in some decent waves. Some parts are a little slow that you can skip.

Well, too each their own, all kinds of tourneys here on a regular basis. I think most of the tourneys limit to 150 hp so the speeds are a little more in check.
As said, what hurts is the Insurance gods of the world write policies all day long for $300ish/yr for a 20' waterski with an outboard clamped on. It really frustrates me to hear how "Risky" the cats and offshore boats are.
