Supposedly the boat could haul arse- north of 50-60MPH


Everything goes this fast these days. Many HP bass boats now top 70 mph. RIP

I was pulling up to the landing Sat right after it happen, and the helicopter just landed, ambulance was there. Sheriff was putting his boat in. Anyways I went again the next day and asked some guy at the marina what happen. He said he was a friend of his and they both had boats like that one and they could do 90-100mph , He said he just got a new prop and was testing it. Had two kids.

I was a passenger in a Pantera II bass boat with 200 Mercury that did 70mph on Lake Ouachita. No one around for miles and water deep and slick. Very scary.

Couldnt imagine 50+ in the river.

RIP
