I am surprised this got so little coverage, he ran over a 100 in a hull that is not the fastest and power no one has ever run.
The dude with the 100 mph BBC 27 fountain got more.
Need to have a follow up story.

Not sure why one would invest that kind of time and effort in mouse-motor power. Don't get me wrong, I really LOVE the 5.0 Coyote engine, I have one in my truck and it's awesome...but one has to wonder what that boat came with originally?

I think the point is he did something way different and ran a speed that was much better than I think any SONIC has ran. Sometimes different is fun,,,,
He should conform LOL!

if you watch the high horsepower car stuff (at least of up to say 1,500hp) everyone is running coyotes cause they make amazing power easy and are very reliable versus what an old school BBC does.

Fantastic guy and boat. Not a perfect run, but next year it might nudge 120 mph.

That’s damned impressive!
Ive never even heard of a Sonic running like that.
Total sleeper and I would have lost that bet!
Even more so, his target was 115 and he ran 113.
I like those that march to beat of a different drum 😉
