He has gone 102mph in it before. I know he was running it hard when this happened.
Was it this one, or his last one he was running that fast? I'm just curious why he changed the prop. Buddy said there was a monster gator right there, the kind that doesn't go down when he sees you. Maybe he tried to avoid it. Just not a lot of room for error at that speed. I went 98 in an Allison once for a tourney, never again.

I can't imagine going over 60 anywhere around bayou black.
I've seen some bullets/Allison's flying down the intracoastal around there before, and I've also seen an entire oak tree floating down the intracoastal.
I'm sure this guy has done what he was doing yesterday hundreds of times without a problem. Damn shame for it to happen. Hopefully it slows some people down.
And ALWAYS WEAR A DAMN LIFEJACKET AND KILL SWITCH. It makes me mad to see people running a go fast boat with no lifejacket. Simple easy things that can save your arse and somebody else's as well.

I initially thought alligator too, happened to a guy I work with over the weekend who was going 45, bumped his boat to left and pushed him under a low hangin tree branch, lost 6 rods n reels, had another buddy hit a crosstie in the intracoastal that was submerged, tore the bottom half his motor off and spun him around...sometimes there's just stuff u can't see, speeds not always the only contributing factor

It was recently, not sure why he changed anything

A goof friend had one way back in the late 1980's that ran over 100 mph. First time I went fishing with him, when we boarded, he handed me a helmet.
