There were 2 boats during that period that ran right at 160. Barry's Banzai, and Rudy Ramos' Golden Thing. Both powered by Keith Black hemis.

The original Banzai is gone, but Harlin Orrin built a replica and its on the list of projects of Dave Sammons. Money is kind of an issue with the project right now.
