Had a gator surface 15 ft from me while swimming once.

Pretty sure I walked on water to the shore that fast

I don’t even like to go over 50 in my boat. That’s a nope


A couple of years ago my buddy (a former IRL driver) takes his 34' DCB to Lake Havasu. On this run he had it beyond 160 mph (I captured 159 on the speedo) but the video doesn't do it justice. 265 mph is insane.

That is 1000 feet. Nitro boats have not ran 1/4s in a few years.

how the hell you fish outta that thing?

1 gallon of fuel per second... 8" fuel line?? I know high pressure delivery, but holy shite that's a lot of fuel going somewhere fast.

That’s going to be a nope from me dawg.
60 miles an hour is way too fast in a bass boat. 265, nope. Ain’t happening.

When I was a kid, they used to have some boat races around Alexandria...I wonder if they still have those?

I wonder what two pussies downvoted you? Fossil fuels are here to stay for a very long time and whoever thinks otherwise is very naive.

If I'm ever up for death by blunt force and drowning I might check this out.
