These viper guys sure love their boats too.

You guys have experienced NOTHING until you've been in a 90+ ton destroyer with over 60,000hp doing 35+ knots chasing drug runners near South America while manned at a .50 cal.

imagine doing 190mph then you get a bad gust of wind under the front or something, youd look like something off the most extreme home video shows.
I think if I had a boat that fast id have to make some of my money back smuggling drugs or something, it would be very difficult to catch a boat like that.

I mean no doubt it is a lot of fun, but i think experiencing speed on water is easily a few order of magnitudes more expensive then on land....
i mean lets be honest, how many of us own houses which are worth as much as these boats?

Al Copland in New Orleans is building a offshore boat to set the water speed record at around 260 mph!!!
The boat is 45 ft and is he's putting 4 turbo jet helicopter engines that crank out 4,000 H.P. each!!!
