If you think about it there is more than one 100 mph boat out there and probably with 2 people aboard.

Bunch of damn idiots if you ask me. I only saw one driver with a life vest on, and it wasn't the proper type and no drivers with helmets on. If you want to do those kind of speeds then use proper safety equipment.

I agree with you on this one. I never worry about myself when I operate, I worry about nut cases like the ones in that video. I mean its cool to do that but do it away from everyone else.

I think it was a awesome film and put together well. I do agree about it is a must as far as having a life vest on and helmet at those speeds. It could prove fatal from the smallest error!

The one in the pic I posted is for sale on boat trader online dot com for either 2500 or 3500 dollars. it's supposed to run 52 mph as is.

The V-King is a slightly larger boat at 17 ft and has a sleeker bow design, note the 2nd and 3rd boats in the pic below. The 2nd boat is a 15ft vector with the deeper vee at the bow. The 3rd boat (yellow) is a V-King, note the swept back vee design in the hull.

If I could find water that smooth, I'm sure my boat would turn a 105. . .
