Just a reminder that the water speed record has historically been the most deadly of the speed records
You guys should see hobby grade electric model boats. Starters will do 60+, mid grade 80+, dual motor cats 100+, and this guy went 206
Thank you for the perspective! This really put it in perspective for me because I’ve seen those rc boats and thought “damn that’s fast” and then the guy driving it tells me it’s he’s cheapest one for like $120 he was going faster than bass boats in a 18 inch model. Mad respect for people who can control the really fast rc ones, let alone a full sized craft!
When I was a kid, my dad had a trolling motor that got our aluminum fishing boat up to 2, maybe 2.5 miles per hour.
So, the bar is pretty high.
I was disappointed to find out that the name of the boat isn’t “Shocker.”
Perhaps they should be focusing on the endurance record.

I hit 13 mph (with a tailwind) in my pontoon boat this weekend
