From what I understand they did 174 mph. :yikes: I had a 28 Daytona and I could not imagine doing 174 in it!
I saw them at Roosevelt this Summer, not sure if it was the weekend they hit 170. That were wearing Lifelines and headsets. Made a pass by the Raftup and it was easy to see they were North of 150 mph.

Sorry, I'm no the fence with some of these boating going so fast, I know I'll get burned here, but the boats are getting faster and faster and if you haven't noticed more people are getting hurt or killed here lately and I don't mean the guys who race them for a living, these are regular guys with big wallets and bigger egos, there I said, now with that said I think it's great and I love boating.
Joey,
Sometimes makes you wonder why not have a license to tow a boat or drive one....
Going that fast would def back you butt pucker
Preface, I don't know this man or his skills, but I agree with you Joey. I'm envvious at the same time. 170 in a 28' boat takes a wheelbarrow to carry his stones! :DQuote:

Always thought it was crazy that money could buy you that kind of speed. The guy that did this has balls of steal. He may be a great driver or a horrible one. I dont know.
Best thing mercury ever did was require the tres martins class for anyone buying the 1350.
