that is smokin . Rich do you have a pic of that type of boat by any chance? just curious as im not to familiar with boats outside offshore types. thanks

Whats the fastest boat ever? Any kind, any class, just the fastest speed ever recorded on water.

Ken Warby at 317.60 . it has only been challanged twice in the past 20 years, both with tragic results.

heres a cool site with some speed #'s link dont know how up to date it is

Ken is in austraila preparing to "shatter" his own record

lets hope thats all he shatters. that is one tough record but i guess if anyone is qualified he is
