Thought the same thing Ridge. In the old days the mono-hull record was held by a scarab, 135 mph or something and that was guys in full race gear. A while back the founder of bonefish grill died on Tampa bay I believe going 100+ in a go fast. Nobody knows what happened, but as anyone who has run boats for any length of time knows something like a small wake, crab float, piece of lumber floating half submerged can ruin you day at any kind of speed. The vid could be BS though. Any time Ive gone 100 + in a car on dry land I'm holding on tight with both hands and ready for anything to jump out in front of me. I took my skiff on a shake down run with the new 90 etec and jack plate and was gripping the wheel tight and probably wasnt running much more than 40 something, just seems fast. This guy seems pretty comfortable traveling at that high rate of speed.
