Fastest Outboard Monohull

Looking at all the World and National Records on the Coniston Website, the fastest OUTBOARD MONOHULL speed on the list seems to be Cookee at 90.15mph.
So am I correct in saying that nobody has got near the magical 100mph in an O/B MONOHULL??
Mod VPs aren't true monohulls, so don't count.

Any advance on 90.15mph?

Didn't Rhino go somewhere around that speed in a XL?

Yes - you are correct - from memory, I think he reached a similar speed ( 90 - 91mph) in a Phantom 19exl.
Although not a record, it was attained at a Record Week, and therefore measured officially.
Any advance on those two - Rhino and Cookee??

Oops - missed Cookee's OUTBOARD IMMERSED PROPELLER - MONOHULL Record of 91.57mph.
And was Darren Kirkland's World Water Ski record from 1989 at 95.93mph behind an O/B Monohull?

The first record listed for cooooookeee was as a rib with crew member. Second was as a monohull 'unlimited'. Same engine, driver etc...

You have to specify the record you are attempting and can only gain that record. So a monohull pulling a skier could get the monohull record, but would need to say in advance that that is the record. You can not claim multiple records in a single run.
