Default Fastest Skaters Ever..........

Turbine powered?

Automotive engine powered?

Outboard powered?

The fastest West Coast Skaters I know of would be Howard Arneson's turbine 46 (200+), Chip Romer's 388 (200+) and Joe Abellera's 28/triple 2.5s (130+). And each of these boats ran these #s with the original owners - I have no idea what they're capable of now.

And how can we so quickly forget the first to officially run 200+..........Dave Scott's Bacardi 36 w/ Sterling power - way back in 2003!

I'm guessing the newest PP could have posted some crazy numbers but my understanding is they never officially ran it out. I'd be really curious what it would have run and also why it was sold so soon.
