In my humble opinion you haven’t experienced POWER BOATING until you have tried this machine - Mind blowing - I am sure somethings go faster but the raw power to weight ratio makes this a raw ride.

In regard to the top speed dare you to look at the Speedo whilst driving it on anything other than a mill pond. Whilst driving it flat out the concept of a relative speed over water being displayed as a number on a gauge is irrelevant I can assure you.

Will try and get a reliable read out soon if he lets me drive it again!
