Drag Boats

These boats are FAST!  Notice the driver has several "shift" or lever changes during the run - the wing on the bow also helps adjust attitude of the bow:

When I saw the title I was afraid this would be a thread about the gay guys that troll Sarasota Bay in their go-fast boats looking to meet new friends.

I think at that speed if you wreck...  your fish food anyways!

There is another video on you tube of a power boating TV segment on the boat...  when they throttle down you can hear the camera man utter " JESUS!"  lol


Bob yeah that is a bunch of cash but those quad turbos sure sound WICKED!    The acceleration from 100 on up to 150-160 is crazy.
