Doesn't the prop driven speed record, (~220 MPH) belong to Dave V. and the Miss Bud Hydroplane? I believe it was in Powerjoke magazines last year. :cool:

Here's enough records to keep you busy til next year. :)

WATER SPEED RECORDS

APBA RECORDS

This last weekend in Red Bluff Ca. a Top Fuel drag boat surpassed the 260 mark,263 to be exact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe any speed record - any REAL speed record - needs to be done over a measured mile, so the speed needs to be sustained. Drag boats are cool, but the short speed bursts don't set world records.

The Speed Record for a propeller driven craft is still 225, owned by the Miss Budwieser Hydroplane. That's the mark that Bud Select, Gieco and Callan have been looking at.
